But you absolutely _can_ do this in Haskell.

Sure, it's considered very unsafe and shouldn't be used in production, but for printf debugging it's fine.

Admittedly, production-ready logging requires type signature modification, but if you subscribe to Haskell's idea that side-effects should be reflected in type signatures, then I don't see that as excessive.

Debug.trace is handy and horrifying indeed :)
