I'm not sure how the statistic for Pedestal was obtained, don't recall if the talk mentions it or not. There are static analysis tools for Clojure like clj-kondo that can provide these kinds of insights. You could see what parts of the code are pure based on what functions get called for example.

Sorry - I didn't realize your original link was to the video and not the project. After watching it (good talk!), I found the clip in question. It seems like he is just saying that 96% of the codebase is functions (of any sort), not that 96% of the functions in the code are pure.

OK yeah, I misremembered the exact phrasing. You're right he doesn't say the functions are pure necessarily.
