We have to have immutable.

You need a way in a systems language to say that a given chunk of memory 
is read only to prevent accidental writes.

Of course you are free to lie and say its mutable, but you can't lie to 
the cpu. It'll error if you try to write to it, resulting in the end of 
a process.
