Hey, could you please stop posting in the flamewar style to HN? I'm sure you have a point here, but it gets lost in the inverse-shit-sandwich thing (flames on the outside, point on the inside).

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the spirit of this site more to heart, we'd be grateful. The idea is curious conversation, and you'll be better able to persuade others about mutability that way anyhow.
