Instant literals returning java.util.Date instances are a great way to sneak bugs into a codebase that uses immutable values everywhere else.

  The mutable methods of the Date class all look to be deprecated. No?

    That doesn't stop them from being called. As soon as you introduce an object like this, you throw a bunch of important guarantees about your code out the window.

      True. At least in Clojure you can change the default behaviour.
