Do users of immutable systems (i.e Nix or Guix) upgrade more or less often than other platforms? There's less pressure to upgrade (unlike a rolling release distro) but in principle upgrading is easier.

I'm increasingly doubtful that commit messages should be entirely immutable. I sometimes find myself editing or commenting on merged pull requests, to help future readers. Phabricator appended a URL to commit messages, which helped. In principle PR merging could do the same thing.

Reactive notebooks: cell state is immutable, unordered (unlike Jupyter) and naturally lends itself to interactive web UIs!
