That's an exercise in futility. If you are rendering read-only screens than you can use pure functions to render the screen. But if you need interactivity then attempting to add interactivity while using pure functions is counter-productive.

- flowerlad 6y agoI am asserting it is counterproductive. In other words, the code will be convoluted and hard to maintain, which is the opposite of the goal of functional programming.
