Rep Power: 10 DaWei is on a distinguished road
To me, anything that introduces side-effects is introducing an impurity to the fundamental paradigm. You may disagree. I'm also not saying that it's necessarily bad. I'm very, very new to the language, but I don't see it as having the capability to solve a lot of real-world problems in an effective way. This means that one either distorts the paradigm, or devises ways to merge other paradigms, with each being a contributor from its strengths.
