Pyrsistent is a number of persistent collections (by some referred to as functional data structures). Persistent in
the sense that they are immutable.
All methods on a data structure that would normally mutate it instead return a new copy of the structure containing the
requested updates. The original structure is left untouched.
This will simplify the reasoning about what a program does since no hidden side effects ever can take place to these
data structures. You can rest assured that the object you hold a reference to will remain the same throughout its
lifetime and need not worry that somewhere five stack levels below you in the darkest corner of your application
someone has decided to remove that element that you expected to be there.
Pyrsistent is influenced by persistent data structures such as those found in the standard library of Clojure. The
data structures are designed to share common elements through path copying.
It aims at taking these concepts and make them as pythonic as possible so that they can be easily integrated into any python
program without hassle.
If you want to go all in on persistent data structures and use literal syntax to define them in your code rather
than function calls check out Pyrthon.
