Introduction

on Ubuntu 20.04.
What is node-immutable
node-immutable is:
Immutable data cannot be changed once created, leading to much simpler application development, no defensive copying, and enabling advanced memoization and change detection techniques with simple logic. Persistent data presents a mutative API which does not update the data in-place, but instead always yields new updated data.
Immutable.js provides many Persistent Immutable data structures including: List, Stack, Map, OrderedMap, Set, OrderedSet and Record.
These data structures are highly efficient on modern JavaScript VMs by using structural sharing via [hash maps tries][] and [vector tries][] as popularized by Clojure and Scala, minimizing the need to copy or cache data.
Immutable also provides a lazy Seq, allowing efficient chaining of collection methods like map and filter without creating intermediate representations. Create some Seq with Range and Repeat.
Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.
