Why is functional programming good for concurrency?
How does immutability and pure functions make concurrency easier to manage?
Mutable data can cause race conditions and unpredictable behavior in concurrent programs. Pure functions, on the other hand, are side-effect free and deterministic, which means they can be run in parallel without interfering with each other. Immutable data is also thread-safe, which means it can be safely accessed by multiple threads simultaneously.
