You seem to be just playing with semantics and claiming it offers a new way of thinking about I/O.

[Gabriel439]

I don't want to think about I/O. That's the point

I want to focus on connecting pure code together without thinking about the details of how that happens. I want this for the same reason that I don't want to think about manually allocating registers, managing memory, or caring about evaluation order

Also, like I mentioned, traditional I/O can't import functions or types, so this is strictly more powerful

"Playing with semantics" is a good description of programming language theory.
