I like the separation between pure and impure code. In his Haskell class Eric Meijer said that pure code are like islands and monadic code is like the ocean, and as programmers we decide how much of a system is pure code. Sorry for being off topic: the new M1 Macs seem to take some of the pain out of large runtimes for compile/build in languages like Haskell and Swift. I don’t have any benchmarks, this is just very noticeable when I am coding.
