Mutability means that the behavior of one namespace can change over the course of the program. Mutability is often a liability, so make sure you really need it before leaning too heavily on this property. While there's no way to tell from the outside that a particular namespace is mutable, you can tell it isn't if the source code doesn't contain `↩`, as this is the only way it can modify the variables it contains. -A namespace that makes use of mutability is essentially an object: a collection of state along with operations that act on it. Object-oriented programming is the other major use of namespaces. Contrary to the name, there's never a need to orient your programming around objects, and it's perfectly fine to use an object here or there when you need to, for instance to build a mutable queue of values. +A namespace that makes use of mutability is essentially an object: a collection of state along with operations that act on it.
