The underlying host doesn't imply anything about language support as that's handled at the compiler level, not at the machine or VM level.
Even in Haskell data isn't immutable if you have a debugger or modify the machine code. It's simply a tool provided and enforced solely by the compiler - other JVM languages do support it like Clojure or Scala.
