You can use something like
myPureComputation :: String -> ST s Int
where the parameter denotes the file content. Then you do something like
this:
do
fileContent <- readFile "myFile"
print $ runST $ myPureComputation fileContent
So you don't need to infect your ST computation with I/O the same way you
often don't need to infect an ordinary pure calculation with I/O.
Or did you mean something different?
