One reason I don't use Elm and Purescript is that enforcing the purity of functions can be a pain. While pure functions are great in theory, sometimes having a non-pure function is much easier, and I'm okay with my codebase being 99% pure functions.



PureScript has a lenient FFI so you can choose to use 99% pure functions if you like (at your own risk).


My point is more about ethics in tech than a specific language. I expected downvotes, but wish that the industry were different.
