Scala has a similar data structure https://www.scala-lang.org/api/2.13.6/scala/collection/immut.... Something was in the air in 2013.

It’s not a secret that they came from the same zeitgeist but took wildly different approaches, but inspired each other.

I still don’t understand why they’re referred to as persistent vectors rather than immutable vectors, but I digress.

I believe that immutable just means, well, immutable, but persistent means that updates are achieved via structural sharing, so they’re efficient.

Clarifying Clojure had them in 2007. Scala implementations were inspired by Clojure’s. Both Odersky and Bagwell have given credit to Hickey.
