Immutability is definitely first class in clojure, but you can work with mutable structures when you need to.

This is sounds like memory safety in C++.

This seems like a meaningless criticism when it comes to immutability in Clojure. You can have mutability in Haskell too. That doesn’t make it as unsafe as memory management in C++.

Haskell enforces this via a type system.
What safeguards around mutability does Clojure have?
If I import a method 'foo()', is there any kind of contract, notation ... anything which could suggest whether it mutates or not?
