It's not enforced by Quasar, and Java, obviously can't ensure that, but in Clojure everything is immutable.

Ah, thanks for the clarification, I missed that Quasar was aimed at Java, which threw me off. (Apparently I can't be expected to read the first sentence carefully.)

After enjoying the benefits of immutability and lightweight message passing, I'd hate to give up the former -- but if you're stuck with Java, I suppose all this is gravy.

You're not "stuck with Java". Sometimes it's the best tool around. In any case, Quasar is the foundation. Pulsar wraps it with a nifty Clojure API. Perhaps we or someone else will come up with APIs in other JVM languages (I have my eyes on Kotlin).
