The same reaction whenever I look at haskell. A "pure" language with an escape hatch that has a fancy name. Once you open the escape hatch, you can write entirely impure code in Haskell and never see a pure function in your life. So much for "pure".

Reading current discussion, it seems more like "You say that it's impossible to dirty your house, yet nothing's stopping anyone from dumping out this bucket of mud on your floor, curious!"
Same goes for rust and memory safety. What's your point?
the only languages that don't have an escape hatch of some sort are languages with no safety in the first place. the escape hatch is an important part of treating your developer like an adult
