Tests:

Lodash cloneDeep
testCopy = _.cloneDeep(testArray);
Native map deep slice(turns objects into arrays)
testCopy = testArray.map(arr => testArray.slice());
Native JSON parse
testCopy = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(testArray));
Native map deep slice at 0(turns objects into arrays)
testCopy = testArray.map(arr => testArray.slice(0));
Recursive deep clone
testCopy = deepClone(testArray);
Map deep clone
testCopy = testArray.map(arr => deepClone(arr));
