Their real benefit is in reducing "side-effects" of function calls. That is to say, the output of a function depends only on the inputs to it. This is desirable, because it makes programs easier to understand and less prone to bugs. |

It's a fun exercise but I've never found a use for it. Some of the best programmers I know are HASKELLpigs (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2839593&forum_id=2#27560451) |
