It needs to be an effect so the compiler knows how optimizations are permitted to handle it. Otherwise your print statements might appear in totally the wrong order or even not at all. Imagine saying that certain memory stores are allowed t

I don't think performance was a motive for effect systems in Haskell, it was more about making effects easier to compose, understand and debug.

A censorship policy that changes daily is a shitty policy. If people on June 8th criticized that official position before they reversed the next day, do you think it was right or a good idea for them to be censored?

Developers who don't document typically do system design beforehand, but that design process often just isn't documented/recorded properly, that's my point. A development environment that records prompt history and lets

The gigantic prompt has a side benefit though: it's documentation on design and rationale that otherwise would typically not get written.

Half agree. The left version I feel has too many sharp lines and bold distinguishing features, so you don't know where to look, where the version on the right has too few so you don't know where to look.

Partial evaluation subsumes a lot of other compiler optimizations, like constant folding, inlining and dead code elimination, so it wouldn't just find application with interpreters.
