About Immutable Data:
My own phrasing about this subject: With mutable data, the state is no longer encoded in programming code itself, rather a temporary state you have to calculate in your head. That's why people need debuggers, to help pausing at a time and see the current state and analyze each step in between all immutable states; which can be endless, depending on the input.
