Why do you want to treat the symptoms and not to cure the problem? It sounds you come emotional from work too often. It is not healthy to be like this for long time, so even if you decrease the symptoms it is going to take in your health so

There are already interfaces for Immutable collections in kotlin. And all the functional operators as map, filter, etc, returns them. But it is not true immutability as you said, because under the hood they are normal list. They aren't
