I have seem to be following the same route. My view is that pure
functional programming claims to be referentially transparent however
this does not hold for identifiers. In order to avoid the problems, I
argue that we have to move towards an approach were identifiers only have
a single meaning wherever they are used. To do this I argue that we have
to move away from recursion as means of expressing iteration.
