> When I write code, it's common to have references to immutable classes thrown around with wild abandon, heedless of ownership, threads, or good taste, because the data just can't change. But that's a paradigm that Go simply doesn't support. You might get a kick out of Virgil. It's easy (and terse!) to define immutable classes and you can have immutable ADTs too. (plus tuples, generics with separate typechecking, etc).
