    > Can you give me an example of a Haskell expression which isn't reverentially transparent (without unsafePerformIO)?

    Yes: https://github.com/ncaq/debug-trace-var The trick, however, is not unsafePerformIO (destructive mutability has nothing to do with referential transparency in general) but with TemplateHaskell, as quoting has everything to do with referential transparency.

    > But the bog standard FP definition is a real and useful concept.

    Actually, it's rather tautological. It defines FP circularly (see my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36152488). It says nothing more than the far more useful explanation: "the meaning of every expression is a value".
