Pros and cons of immutability

At first think, it seems like having a variable that you can't change is a terrible idea and that we should always use var instead of val. But, in Scala, we actually prefer immutable variables (val, that is) where possible.

In this exercise, you'll categorize statements about immutability as either a pro or a con.
