You do not reuse log file output to propagate state changes.
If you do I would like to know for what purpose...
In my world the ultimate goal of log file output is human consumption with or
without aggregation or alert filtering.
It has nothing to do with your system internal state. It's merely

I look at side effects this way, will it ever record some state change that
some
code in the universe will eventually rely on ?
If no, then there's no state change/side effect to care about.
Sending a message is a side effect (a pgm will eventually use it), writing to
a database, ... qualify.

Look discribes the current location. So it has a side-effect, but as I

Than I did it in the 'right' way. In the book the where talk
The fn that does the display is the one having side effects.
Now if your look fn creates the side effect, it should reflect that in its name.
But... I wonder why it does so. Looking at something does not change state.
You may be better splitting the side effect away from it or change the name.
Lo
In clojure.core, an ending "!" indicates a function that is unsafe for STM,
rather than one with side effects. For instance, alter and send are
functions with side effects, but have no ending "!" because they're safe to
use in a dosync block.
In other words, an ending "!" indicates a function has

IMO, ! is used when change any global state. A side effect like print on
screen is not enough to cause a ! in the name. I think that's why the
functions print/println don't have ! =)

When a function returns a true/false value you should end it with a '?'.
Clojure Programming says that with side effects you should end the function
name with a '!'.
I have functions reset-game! and walk!. But what about a function like
look? It does not change state, but it displays where you ar
