Elixir enables stateful web applications, is it wrong to think like this?

Hear hear. I try to ‘name’ functions in one of 3 ways, either a function call that does something now and returns, a function call that may take a long while, and a function call that does something out-of-band (like sending a message). Now this doesn’t mean they ‘do’ do something like send a message, but that is the conceptual idea of that call whether it does or not.
