Reply to Derek,
What has surprised me is that immutability is *not* guaranteed.
The language has asm blocks can can call C. The only things it can guarantee
are the same things the OS can guarantee.
Oh, I agree. It is just that the documentation is pretty adamant that
"immutability" means that the data WILL NOT change. It gives the impression
that there is compiler support to ensure that this is axiomatic rather than
just a convention.
IMHO it's more than a convention.
