@malk_zameth @techtangents @kaleidic Not a function, therefore not even no.

@dibblego @techtangents @kaleidic that was my point! Hence "function" quoted. Code writing global state can be referentially transparent

@malk_zameth @techtangents @kaleidic how can it be so?

@dibblego @techtangents @kaleidic int A=0; int I(x) {A=x; return x+1}. Reads no global state, yet writes. I(y) always returns same result

@malk_zameth @techtangents @kaleidic aha! No it doesn't return the same result. I agree RT is insufficient though (is a consequence).

@dibblego @techtangents @kaleidic IMHO The result is just what is returned. The ugly env havoc is no result.

@malk_zameth @techtangents @kaleidic Indeed it returns a different value. Imagine this fact in a ErikM voice (video?). @headinthebox

@dibblego @techtangents @kaleidic please elaborate further than "it does". I argue that being returned is just what the function evalues to
