@elreimundo Thanks for clearing up those issues! I totally forgot to change thing to deepCopy when I renamed the function haha. @konamax123 Copying in JS is rough because there are a lot of subtleties to consider when duplicating the memory allocated to objects and their contents. If you want a solution free of headaches (for the most part) consider Immutable data structures. They use structural sharing so creating "copies" isn't really that expensive. A good library is Facebooks ImmutableJS
