A very good article by John-Carmack about purity
http://www.altdevblogaday.com/2012/04/26/functional-programming-in-c/
Yea, that is good.
Sometimes I agree with Carmack, and sometimes I don't, but he's
always
fascinating to listen to, and I'm always impressed by his
intelligence and
clairity-of-thought on complex matters.
Plus, he is extremely down to earth when tackling problems. He
has been rather conservative when coming to programming
languages, so if he talks about issues like purity, he probably
has studied and practiced them well enough to feel authorized to
talk about them. And I bet he started to look at it because of he
need for multithreaded programming.
