Managers
gollark: It reads a line of input, then prints `[that input] world` and `[that input] void`.
gollark: Natural languages and humans in general... are not really "referentially transparent".
gollark: If we substitute `cactus` for `input()` it'll read in input twice, and be wrong.
gollark: Let's imagine we're using an imperative language then:```pythoncactus = input()print(cactus, "world")print(cactus, "void")```
gollark: That only works in languages or whatever with referential transparency like Haskell.
