In this discussion of a specific point in the post, the promise of Hylo language and mutable value semantics can be overlooked. Namely, we get a lot of the convenience of functional programming (mutating one variable doesn't change any other variable) with the performance of imperative languages (purely functional data structures have higher costs relative to in-place mutation and are more gc-intensive). https://docs.hylo-lang.org/language-tour/bindings https://docs.hylo-lang.org/language-tour/bindings
