Actually, I've been trying to learn Haskell for sometime, but I just can't wrap my head around the purity. Can you recommend a language(s) for me that combines functional and imperative paradigms?

JavaScript (sorta), OCaml (though like I said, it's statically typed), Scheme and the Lisps (seems like you aren't a fan of parens, I don't mind them (as you might be able to tell)) Unfortunately, that's it. All the combinations of imperative and functional paradigms that exist are leaning on the imperative side, and there are few mostly functional and partially imperative languages, imo. Try OCaml, it's got a good mix of functional and imperative: http://try.ocamlpro.com/
