Right? Even if you wanted to be pedantic and say the state monad is only 'simulated' state, you've still got ST, IO, and the glorious, glorious STM. Not to me

Right?
Even if you wanted to be pedantic and say the state monad is only 'simulated' state, you've still got ST, IO, and the glorious, glorious STM. Not to mention the purity and type-system that lets these things flourish, while other language designers try to implement STM and give up on it.
