But "immutable" way of doing things have been encouraged, suggested, marked-in-stone as best-practices in most languages since 2005... am I missing something?

People have been saying that:

- Global Object is bad

- Stateless is better than Stateful

- Singleton becomes an anti-pattern

- Methods/Functions without side-effect (avoid mutation)

Nobody really mentioned to do things the Functional programming way per-se but the characteristics are there.
