Immutability

Programming På svenska → Updated: 2026-05-23

Data that can't be changed after creation — to "change" something you create a new version.

Central in functional programming (Clojure, Elixir, Haskell). Predictable, easy to reason about, marginally harder to write. React state, Redux, and Rust's ownership system are built on the idea.
