const a = Object.freeze([4, 5, 6]);

// Instead of: a.push(7, 8, 9);
const b = a.concat(7, 8, 9);

// Instead of: a.pop();
const c = a.slice(0, -1);

// Instead of: a.unshift(1, 2, 3);
const d = [1, 2, 3].concat(a);

// Instead of: a.shift();
const e = a.slice(1);

// Instead of: a.sort(myCompareFunction);
const f = R.sort(myCompareFunction, a); // R = Ramda

// Instead of: a.reverse();
const g = R.reverse(a); // R = Ramda
