I am strongly considering buying a copy of your book and giving data-oriented programming a go in my day job. My only hesitation is data immutability. I work in a data-intensive scientific field where we frequently use custom, mutable data structures holding massive amounts of data. Creating persistent versions of these data structures would be an extremely complex undertaking. Do you have any thoughts about using data-oriented programming in situations when data mutability is difficult to avoid?
