With many new functional programming possibilities (like map,
reduce, filter, lambdas) there are many scenarios where the
implementer should use pure (or as I renamed it in another reply,
side-effect-free) functions.
Why "should"? What is the problem if people don't?
In the non-sequential versions, side-effect-free operators
give more flexibility in scheduling, eg, splitting an array
into sub-arrays, running partial loops on separate processors,
then combine the results.
I agree, but it's far from being applicable in JS apparently (I see you
agree later in your response). I suggested this as my very first
Bugzilla bug. I encourage to read the comments:
