And in TypeScript you can at least pair it with Readonly<...>, though that unfortunately still isn't recursive

Nice plugin to make sure you never mutate: https://github.com/jonaskello/tslint-immutable/tree/master/t...

You can add a rule based on the name of the variable to allow mutating (e.g. naming it `mutableSomething`)

Interesting, but not really tractable if you have to manually add every single variable to the rules config.

The plugin allows pattern-based exceptions.

For example, if your rule excluded variables with a "mutable" prefix, you could name your variable mutableSomething and it will be automatically ignored by the linter
