Yes, you are right. it is not. So, how can we work with time in a pure way? Is it similar to the way we used Randomness? or does it behave differently?

I cheated and looked it up. Is the answer with Monadic IOs? Lucas Payr

Jacob Mangum That's a bit of an overkill.😅 But it's one of many right answers.

The key idea is that the system should be handled the same way as remote requests. You don't have to use a Monad for that.

Hahaha fair enough. Are there any books you would recommend on functional programming? Something at an intermediate level?

Jacob Mangum For language specifics, I'd recommend the Functional programming series from manning.

For Big Picture stuff I'd recommend Grokking Simplicity by Eric Normand.

If you want to get more into the theory, I'd recommend actually learning a functional language. In particular, Elm is a very beginner-friendly language. For getting started, I'd recommend following the free book Beginning Elm.

Lucas Payr Thanks!
