One big problem with mutation is that it makes it too easy to violate many good design principles, e.g. modularity, encapsulation and separation of concerns. Because any piece of code that holds a reference to a mutable variable is able to,

What the hell? The EU is spending funds, given to it by member states, to further its own interests? This stinks.

Thank you for elaborating. But this assumes that you consume the power as it's produced, right? Otherwise you need a battery as well. I imagine, for example, that the power produced during weekdays while at work would go mostly unused.

by runeks 1y ago
In my view, algebraic effects enable specifying different kinds of effects (with different interpretations) — e.g. read a file, run DB query, network access — as opposed to just a single 'Io' effect that allows everything.

The amounts are irrelevant. It would be the exact same situation if all amounts were divided by e.g. 10: paying taxes on non-existent profits.
