Kotlin Immutable vs Mutable Collections
`listOf` / `setOf` / `mapOf` build READ-ONLY views; `mutableListOf` / `mutableSetOf` / `mutableMapOf` are mutable. Default to immutable — the call site is a contract about intent.
Java Immutable Collections — List.of / Map.of
Java 9+ static factory methods return immutable collections with no nulls allowed. Concise, fast, and safer to share across threads or APIs than mutable equivalents.
Java Builder Pattern
For objects with many optional parameters, a Builder beats a constructor with 12 args (or a half-initialized object you have to call setters on). Method chaining + a `build()` step that validates.
