On the other hand Scala does provide a shallow form of immutability and

My experience with shallow const (in C++) is that it's nearly useless.
Most C++ code I've seen seems to rely on an implicit assumption of
transitive const, but it isn't in the documentation and of course you
don't know if it is upheld or not. This is not conducive to reliable FP.
I still remember my first reading about D const, and thinking
'What? Other const regimes aren't transitive? That's madness!'
