Immutability and structural equality will make these extremely useful. I'm concerned how the masses of recent grads and bootcamp grads will interact with these. One of my favorite JS interview questions is "what is the difference between var, let, and const?". I don't reject candidates based on it, I just like hearing the different answers. I only heard the correct answer once out of all the entry-level developers that I interviewed.

I'm more concerned with the way that recent grads and bootcamp grads will interact with everything else.

Reference equality is a huge source of confusion for them. Structural equality is what they expect.

It's what they expect, and it's what they'll now expect from every object or object'ish value in JS :)
