That's one of the most arrogant statements I've read on HN in quite a while.
Nearly all developers know mutable data structures, it's bread and butter. Immutable ones aren't some exotic life form, it's just that using them effectively (read: efficiently) as mutable ones can be really tough, and leads to more complex code.

I am out of SF. The number of times I've seen people start trying to parse XML with regular expression tell me all I need to know about their ability to code.

You should maybe get out of SF for a bit.
