What about immutability? A key part of functional programming is using immutable structures to avoid side effects.

My understanding is that Swift has these to some extent ("let" vs "var", structs being immutable etc). And since Kotlin is built on JVM compatibility I _assume_ that Kotlin does not support an immutable style of programming. Maybe someone here has more clarity on this.
