Ah, yes, there is a confusion between "side-effect" from the pure function point of view and "side-effect" from property functionality point of view. I'd say that property setter should be a pure function with one exception : it is allowed to changed "this" fields. No global state changes, no calls to impure global functions, not even calls to "this" non-property functions.
What about getters and setters and gets and sets a value from a cache? -- /Jacob Carlborg
