Recently I have also suggested to replace the keyword "immutable" with something shorter, because I am writing it often in the code, something like "val", as used in Scala. But this has not gotten lot of interest from people.
That's because 'val' says absolutely nothing about the variable's constancy. Immutable may be a mouthful, but at least it conveys some useful information even for those who have not read the manual. -- Simen
