What commenters say

• Some JavaScript methods mutate the array, while others do not, which can be confusing and lead to errors. The language's lack of strong immutability guarantees makes it difficult to ensure data integrity. JavaScript's design principles and consistency are important for developer productivity and code safety. The use of libraries like Immer.js and Ramda can help enforce immutability in JavaScript. TypeScript and other static typing systems can provide better guarantees of immutability and code safety. The distinction between mutating and non-mutating methods in JavaScript is not always clear or consistent. Object.freeze can be used to create immutable objects, but it has limitations and is not a comprehensive solution.
