lovetox, in aioxmpp, we state clearly that you mustn’t mess with stanza objects after sending. terrible things will happen if you do.

no wait

the other way round

but I didn’t realize that this was a possible issue for SM s ofar

do I care though?

I don’t think it’s a problem

I had a very nasty situation with Smack where I re-used the same presence stanza for sending presence updates to all joined MUCs. It didn't end well.

immutability ftw

Just switch to Erlang.

or haskell

Or Rust

Or c++ with lots of "const" everywhere 😅

immutability ftw

Yeah, immutabilily is the gre+++OOM killed

I'd happily crush memory usage for maintainability

Tell Ge0rG that

Keeping a ton of subtly different clones around for 198, csi, etc is probably not optimal

You can have your API immutable using interior mutability, smartly reusing memory. I'm fine as long as I'm on the immutable side of it :P

Reference counting and copy-on-write ftw
