It doesn't make sense to say that. Other languages had it from the start, and it has been a success. Immutable.js is 10% as good as built-in immutability and 90% as painful. Seal/freeze,readonly, are tiny local fixes that again are good, but nothing like "default" immutability.
It's too late and you can't dismiss it as "been tried and didn't get traction".
- bastawhiz 11mo agoThat's not what I said, and that's not what my reply is about. The value of immutability is known. That's the point of this post. The author isn't a TC39 member (or at least I don't think they are). They're doing what they can with the tools they have.
- the_gipsy 11mo agoYou didn't understand what you were replying to. Immutability cannot be discovered later on in that sense (in practice).
