The post while interesting - puts forward a bit of a false argument. And the flaw is seen in the title: "Immutability is not enough"
Enough for what?
If the author had finished the title, it'd be pretty clear that what they're arguing is kinda obvious.
"Immutability is not enough to solve every ordering / dependency problem in programming"
I'm trying to come up with the most charitable completion of the title, but written out they all sound pretty patronizing. (maybe someone else can do better than me?)
Now all of that said. It is a great example of an article for someone to see the benefits of transitioning from inline imperative updates. To better factored code, immutable data and explicit passing of dependencies.
And then finally to introduce the motivation and benefits of an effect system.
For that I applaud the author.
