Developers have a bad habit of adding mutable fields to plain old data objects in Go though, so even if it's immutable now, it's now easy for a developer to create a race down the line. There's no way to indicate that something must be immutability at compile-time, so the compiler won't help you there.
Good points. I have also heard others say the same in the past regarding Go. I know very little about Go or its language development, however.
I wonder if Go could easily add some features regarding that. There are different ways to go about it. 'final' in Java is different from 'const' in C++, for example, and Rust has borrow checking and 'const'. I think the language developers of the OCaml language has experimented with something inspired by Rust regarding concurrency.
