Basically anything written in erlang or elixir follows this paradigm.

It's really extremely productive to code this way... I wrote a job scheduler from scratch in 3 months and never once had to write or use a mutex or semaphore. Immutability makes you very confident about your code.

Similarly, my UI guy wrote a UI in basically functional react. It's amazing. With very little js experience I made code patches that.. just worked because I was guaranteed that no function calls had mysterious side effects...
