How are your functions pure if inside them you call `useEffect`, `useState` ? Where is pureness when at first look they generate side effects, or am I missing something ?

Not all functions needs hooks, not all hooks break pureness.
But my point was functions are simpler in all those scenarios, pure or not. Edited my comment to reflect that.

Sure, if you define a function called useWhatever that doesn't actually call any hooks, that might be a pure function. But the restrictions described in https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-rules.html are not restrictions that pure functions have.

But functions that use hooks aren't pure because hooks break referential transparency.
