the so called "purity" is achieved by using a higher kinded type and the cats IO monad. it's like adding "1+1" with a "mathematical-calculation-monoid-combine-factory-builder-singleton-locator-evaluator-pattern". I remember keeping it simple as an ultimate goal but maybe I am just too for this FP peeing contest? why is it such a frickin' deal to log a message somewhere?
