 Description : Immutable Data Collections
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.
