I don't know the situation in the UK but some countries have separate drains depending on if it's waste water or just a regular rain water drainage. Rain water drainages are often not treated in any way (because why, it's rainwater anyway) but waste water is processed in treatment plants.

    It still can panic/abort and deadlock/wait infinitely long on most fp languages because that's typically implied. And there isn't actually a way around that because computation almost always can fail or block indefinitely - and if you have a total language you can implement waits for billions of years, which for all practical purposes is "infinitely" long on human time scales.

    Is it though? There isn't one part in the human body that has exactly one specific purpose. Everything is something mushy with basically one main purpose and a ton of side-quests. Almost the exact opposite of what engineers prefer.
