Content-addressable storage will become more and more important as the immutability trend becomes more and more commonplace. (check out https://camlistore.org/). We will also want to use the proper tools to manage the new immutable paradigm... here's looking at immutability in programming languages.

Anyone have any idea the date of the paper? I couldn't find it anywhere and it seems like an important piece. I'm guessing "immutability changes everything" would be a phrase that means something different if stated 20 years ago for example.

It references a paper from 2014-2015 so it's at least that new, but still I think it would be easier if the date is shown on the top or something.

I'd say 2015 :)

On the bottom left of the first page:

He's been working on these ideas for quite some time. Here's a talk of the same name at RICON 2012: http://vimeo.com/52831373

Having said that, this is a pet peeve of mine, too. I get frustrated by technical papers with no dates.

I always rely on the copyright field of the paper for dating. Since these papers go into proceedings, the templates don't provide for (or allow for) obvious dating fields.

Those interested in immutable data-structures might like to look into Irmin [1], git-like distributed storage (due to be released soon). It's also part of a larger stack [2].
