@dibblego I would like this.
Someone needs to demonstrate for others that pure FP is a very practical way to work in the real world and deal with side-effects.

@techtangents I think you just didn't notice all the other times :)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@ben_h I have a suspicion that the overlooked way of demonstrating this fact efficiently is by using the free monad.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@ben_h No, that's the thing, nobody seems to have exploited the free monad precisely for that purpose, except perhaps@runaroramaThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@ben_h There's a pure-functional RNG library using the free monad, but it's not set up to demonstrate the facts of pure FP /cc@runaroramaThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@ben_h@runarorama With which language are you most familiar?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@ben_h Well, we need a language with proper data types. Pick one, though I recommend Haskell for learning.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@ben_h I could in fact write the Free data type in Ruby. It will take me an hour and have bugs. Or write it in Haskell in a twittle tweet.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
