> A language which helps you get immutability right is a world of difference. It's like the difference between a memory-safe language vs just using C (and a C textbook which recommends that you write memory-safe code)

I mean I understood how to get immutability right before I ever picked up an FP language, but I can see how this is a flexible point though. The virtues of immutability really don’t take a long time to extol, and they’re a concept you’re introduced to immediately in MyFirstFPLang™.
