Hello Haskellers, I have been re-reading William Lawvere's description of "variable sets" (a functor category) in "a elementary topoi" on a discrete poset/preset vs a "abstract sets" in the topos of abstract sets . In Haskell( and other FPLs .. ) aren't "pure" computations just over the topos of abstract sets and "mutable" /"time-varying/stateful" computations aren't just "variable sets" (i.e. a functor over a discrete preset-poset)?? Please forgive my bad English :-( If uncertain aboyt my Englsih, please say so. Kind regards, Vasya P.S. Yes I am familiar with Eugenio Moggi's papers on using monads for stateful computations ..
