You say 'importing urls', but what is going to serve the content at that URL? A server.

I dont know what it means by saying there is no input or output... reading from a URL is an input. It is an I/O operation to pull data from a network stream.

Even the whole writing functions to files things is an input and output situation. Just because you change the words doesn't change what it is doing.

Yes, but it's a restricted set of input and output: the only thing you can do is import other code. You can't, say, launch missiles or delete files unless the compiler/interpreter allows it
