The idea that the world appears to mutable and therefore programming languages should encourage mutation in order to model it is one that doesn't make any sense

The idea that the world appears to mutable and therefore programming languages should encourage mutation in order to model it is one that doesn't make any sense.
To me, it makes much more sense to try to create programming languages that are able to express human thought. People think in terms of things that are, to a first approximation immutable, memories are a good example.
