  Yes, typically it would be used to mean things like the code mutates data in place rather than using persistent data structures, explicitly loops over data rather than using higher-order map, fold etc. operations, and explicitly checks tag bits rather than using sum types.

    Fine, I'll give you that (sounds like a generic description) but there's nothing like that from the description given in the article and the paragraph immediately before that statement. It's almost as if the author completely made that up.
