For the last 16 years, I have been a huge fan of Haskell. It has been undeniably the most important programming language in my life ... and I serve on the board of the Haskell Foundation ... our backend has been built in Haskell ... we started doing all new API work in Python

Of course you feel this way. You just finished reading SICP or maybe you binged PG essays last weekend. But eventually you'll read Simon Peyton Jones and start screaming about functional programming and algebraic type systems. Then, if you're lucky, you'll get a real job

Consider the C library function fopen. This function has the side effect. This means that fopen is not pure. However, we can make the fopen function appear to be pure, at least to certain observers, by ensconcing it in another function that hides the side effect.
