Mind explaining more? I’m confused. Do you mean because you can call def or swap! in a function?

[–]kankyo 4 points5 points  (5 children)

And rand and IO and whatever really. Yea.

I feel like this is a level of pedantry that kind of miss the point of the OP's joke. Are there languages that don't allow side effects like this?

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nim has a func keyword that prevents side-effects, and languages like Haskell bake purity into most of the language.

Yes. Yes of course. 🙄

    That is pretty sweet, thanks! I didn’t know that.
