in principle llms should do better on immutable languages since there is no risk a term will get modified by a distant function call.

In my experience, it's the functional part, not immutability, where they fall short. Any LLM can write immutable C# because it's easy and there's incredible amounts of training data.

		good news, "immutable" is pretty much the only way that elixir is "functional" except for lambdas being first class datatypes (which is almost every language now)
