I work as Java developer for the last 10 years, I perfectly understand the amount of software and other things.

I don't know much about Python and JS, but I do know that they're not using immutable model, everything is mutable in Python and in JS, so I'm not sure what's your point. The only immutable language I'm aware of is Haskell which is not used widely. Just because JVM is faster than Python or V8 does not mean that it's OK to slow it down with immutables.

Using immutables doesn’t mean you go full Haskell. Strings are also immutable you know.
