The main issue with FP in D today is it needs to be pervasively used
in Phobos. A large part of Phobos should be marked as pure, but is
not, making it difficult to use Phobos from FP code.
Heh, that's interesting...
For example, Object.opEquals should be pure, nothrow, @safe.
This is scheduled for the next release?
Not sure yet, but you should certainly be marking all your opEquals that way
now.
The inheriting purity thing helps significantly with that.
Good...we're enthusiastic to put FP's in D on the severe test...hoping
to use D as 'the world's most practical FP language'. ;)
