Is there another meaning of Purity rather rather than clean, wholesome, virgin, untouch? :)In the case of software, I'm assuming that people are in the industry to earn $ creating functional software to be delivered efficiently to customers. If you are of the opinion that "clean, wholesome, virgin, untouched" helps efficiency or delivery, no problem. If you are valuing "clean, wholesome, virgin, untouched" as outcomes in themselves, then I'd ask what happened to efficiency and customer satisfaction. How does it help the customer if you refuse to harness efficiency or productivity aids because they're impure?
It's just something I learned the hard way in the early days in Java. I'm happy to let it go.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
