Hey listen, this thing won’t change ever, got it? So go crazy with passing it to threads and stuff
I don’t really care about that - none of the code I write is compute bound anyway. The CPU is generally twiddling it’s thumbs idle for millions of cycles with occasional brief moments of activity when the SSD finally responds to the read operation that was requested an eternity ago. Or worse, it might be waiting on a network request.
I want immutability so I can, for example, make a copy of it and know my copy will always be the same as the original. In other words I want to be able to do my own caching/etc (possibly to avoid SSD access).
