Side effects are extremely useful for debugging and telemetry, so I really don't see this being useful in any practical sense. Seems interesting in theory. Good luck!

Respectfully, there are lots of purely-functional languages out there with no side-effects at all and I'm not sure the entire lot can be written off as "[not] being useful in any practical sense".
