> A good example would be a program that runs fine suddenly now needs a "timeout" on an operation. FP implementations now need to thread the notion of time from somewhere near the top of the implementation the whole way down the chain to the function that needs "time". I mean, 'FP' is so broad a term that a lot of languages fall under that, almost all of which can introduce the concept of a timeout quite easily. E.g. OCaml's Lwt, or Scala's ZIO are two that quickly come to mind.
