We already sort of see threading state through chains of (pure) functions; it's how you write React, especially if you use Redux instead of hooks. You lug props around, they are explicitly immutable because you always get a copy, and it's fine, nobody complains much. It feels logical.

Some more effort in packaging this ergonomically, and we'll see purity annotations in TS and explicit passage of state objects around.

redux is another part of the 'gene transfer idea', nobody used reducers for anything except maybe rich hickey
