The only truly pure functions exist in the imaginary world of mathematics, if you even believe that.
Note I already mentioned persistent stores of state.
I think you'll find the need for some kind of process like task. Maybe not...
Maybe re-read. I've already said that there would be a process like task. Lambdas will need to be associated with state. Users won't have to start processes. Instead, processes will be more like processors.

I'll take that as positive feedback.
But I think I kinda get your point, but would challenge you to think about this issue with the frame of mind of access control and permissions a bit. I think you'll find the need for some kind of process like task. Maybe not...
