Who needs a definition?  It's apparently his definition of the word
"pure".  Definitions are arbitrary; he can define the phrase
"pure object-oriented language" however he feels like.

The rest of us, of course, don't have to accept that the way he
distinguishes between "pure" and "impure" languages is a particularly
useful distinction.  Personally, I don't.  I think that this
distinction is almost completely trivial: whether or not functions
must always be attached to classes is an essentially syntactic issue.
