In object-oriented (OO) and functional programming, an immutable object (unchangeable object) is an object whose state cannot be modified after it is...

A properly written constructor leaves the resulting object in a valid state. Immutable objects must be initialized in a constructor. Most languages allow...

early incarnations of object storage were used for archiving, as implementations were optimized for data services like immutability, not performance. EMC...

In object-oriented programming, "immutable interface" is a pattern for designing an immutable object. The immutable interface pattern involves defining...

them might be executed simultaneously by another thread. Immutable objects The state of an object cannot be changed after construction. This implies both...

Passing such immutable objects between variables have no observable differences if the object is copied or passed by reference, unless the object identity...

const, D const and immutable are "deep" or transitive, and anything reachable through a const or immutable object is const or immutable respectively. Example...
