I usually find immutability to be more important than this particular detail. Because of this my preference is usually Elixir/Erlang, followed closely by Clojure (for the potential interop with a huge ecosystem), with languages like Go and Java fairly close to eachother but pretty far down list. I would love it if Clojure on BEAM were more mainstream.
