> Not really. You can mix them in Haskell too. True, but it's not particularly syntactically convenient.

  The entire point of monadic (do) syntax in Haskell is to make this convenient. I'm not following you exactly.

    runeks mentioned print “Enter name:” print (“Hello “ ++ readStdinLine ++ “!”) which can't be written like that with do notation. It's also pretty confusing code to write in any language, so maybe that's not a problem.

      True, do notation does require you to add a line - main = do print "Enter name:" name <- getLine print ("Hello " ++ name ++ "!") But I only said that it makes this convenient not that it allowed you to write any statement you want. It still makes it easy to intersperse pure and non-pure code.
