We're software developers after all. I feel sad knowing that what I've trained for and my passion aren't helpful at all to fixing this crisis.

Is this automated?

Elixir doesn't have mutable variables though. Is there any language that has mutable variables and closes over the value of a variable and not a "pointer to the value"?
