NAME

FP::Abstract::Pure - functional purity protocol

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use FP::List;
use Safe::Isa;
my $v = list(1); # or any other data structure that implements
                # FP::Abstract::Pure
is $v->$_isa("FP::Abstract::Pure"), 1;
# but usually:
use FP::Predicates;
is_pure($v) # true if $v does (officially) not support mutation
            
          

DESCRIPTION

Base class for all data structures that don't allow mutation (by ordinary programs), i.e. are persistent.

More precisely, those objects that don't have methods that when called make other methods non-functions.
