I just found out about an interesting purely functional (e.g. no side effects)
package manager:

It's based on a theory of package management, and features interesting
attributes such as O(1) rollbacks (downgrades).

        (1) You can't get anything without working for it.
        (2) The most you can accomplish by working is to break even.
        (3) You can only break even at absolute zero.
