Mutable in a sentence as an adjective

Treat mutable memory as a form of I/O.

And Haskell's "syntax" for mutable constructs is just a library; it can be improved.

> If you need a lock, then you probably have global mutable state that has to be protected against concurrent updates.

You can use mutable data, but by default everything is immutable.

Each time the function is called you'll be using the same mutable variable that was created during function definition.

"mut" is needed after each binding because one pattern can contain some mutable bindings and some immutable bindings.

In a mutable language you need to have write barriers to detect when an object in the old generation sets a pointer into the new generation.

It's actually correcting the mistakes of C++:- Ownership: means no unsafely shared mutable state, checked at compile time with no runtime overhead.

Immutable data types remove the burden of worrying about who's going to modify the data type from under you, so it lets you share subgraphs more freely.

Once power was restored, we were able to get back into a consistent state and returned the datastore to read-write mode, which enabled the mutable EBS calls to succeed.

A possible alternative is mutable collections with snapshots or freezing, but I think persistent collections are a better approach.

Using SQL DSLs as an argument against macros with the angle of static type checking is a poor argument because SQL DSLs are usually for people that use mutable code anyway.

Immutable and mutable variables are just as easy to declare; the "expression problem" is sometimes solved using OO and sometimes FP.

"Functional programming" in the real world isn't about dogmatically eliminating mutable state.

Java is designed around the principle of "everything should be a class" which makes everyone's first instinct to have lots of mutable instances with lots of mutable member variables.

When you rebase a branch called "master", nothing is rewritten: a new immutable commit history is created, and the ref "master" is moved from pointing at the old history to pointing at the new history.

Except Haskell can also support things like non-deterministic and logic programming. It's just that, for some reason, when people say "mixed-paradigm" what they really mean is "imperative with some functional support" and never "functional with some imperative support".Sure, Haskell's syntax for mutable structures is awkward.

Based on this I'm guessing that Erlang is one of those functional languages that are great for mathematical proof-like software development but not practical for solving actual problems because the world is mutable and the language constructs are not.
