> Most languages of any kind do not let you reason about that. I might as well generalize my statement to: "Programming languages tend to elevate some ideals before concerns of practical safety, performance or just common sense." It just wouldn't make as much sense in-context. |

That statement would be difficult to substantiate, particularly in the context of functional languages. Practical safety, performance, and common sense are absolutely priorities; the ideals that functional language design follows are servants of those goals, not the master.
