It doesn't sound like you actually did learn haskell. Haskell does not in any way make any attempt to eliminate state, and the idea that it does is absurd. Why would the language ship with a module called "State" if it were trying to eliminate state?

Substitute "treat like a pariah" for "eliminate" and you're good to go!
