One half of all Haskell coders will tell you that mutable state isn't a good starting point to learn Haskell, the other half will tell you the same because they want to be cool kids, too.

And the one left over will point out that he asked how to do this the FP way, not the imperative way?

There's no difference, as you can't do time-accounting non-strict and still expect it to give meaningful results: I'm merely trying to be helpful.
