  I've never seen this kind of benchmark graph before, and it looks really neat! How was this generated? What tool was used for the benchmarks?

  (I actually spent most of Sep/Oct working on optimizing the Immer JS immutable update library, and used a benchmarking tool called `mitata`, so I was doing a lot of this same kind of work: https://github.com/immerjs/immer/pull/1183 . Would love to add some new tools to my repertoire here!)

  Thinking on this subject a bit more. I have to wonder if C++ made references just so there is a fast an efficient way to mutate without having to make a copy?

  Maybe someone should work on a way to make references in javascript land. Sort of like immer but baked in.

  In the absence of something like Immer, if you need to immutably update a deeply-nested object, you can do this:

  State management turned out to be another constant source of bugs. My first implementation used mutable state. It made debugging a nightmare. Corrupted state required slogging through so many logs just to find the cause of errors. Switching to immutable state with immer.js made a huge impact. Bugs became easier to isolate, and system behavior became predictable. While immutability can raise performance concerns, it's a trade-off worth making. If performance ever becomes an issue, you can always opt-out incrementally once you have robust well-tested logic.

  Let's explore what this means — and how to avoid unintended side effects using techniques like shallow copy, deep copy, and Immer.

• Shocking Things You Can Do in JavaScript

  Working with immutable data has always been a pain point in JavaScript. We've written countless utility functions and reached for libraries like Immer just to avoid mutating our arrays. Now JavaScript has native solutions with the "to-" prefixed array methods.

• Getting Started with Redux and Redux Toolkit

  Redux Toolkit allows us to write "mutating" logic in reducers. It doesn't actually mutate the state because it uses the Immer library, which detects changes to a "draft state" and produces a brand new immutable state based off those changes.
