Many operations have destructive variants that side effect an input sequence, instead of creating a new sequence:

removeremove!
remove-eqremove-eq!
remove-nthremove-nth!
reversereverse!
appendappend!
mapmap!
accumulateaccumulate!
accumulate*accumulate*!
filterfilter!

Changing elements:
map! ( ... seq quot: ( ... elt -- ... newelt ) -- ... seq )

accumulate! ( ... seq identity quot: ( ... prev elt -- ... next ) -- ... final seq )

accumulate*! ( ... seq identity quot: ( ... prev elt -- ... next ) -- ... seq )

change-nth ( ..a i seq quot: ( ..a elt -- ..b newelt ) -- ..b )


Deleting elements:
remove! ( elt seq -- seq )

remove-eq! ( elt seq -- seq )

remove-nth! ( n seq -- seq )

delete-slice ( from to seq -- )

delete-all ( seq -- )

filter! ( ... seq quot: ( ... elt -- ... ? ) -- ... seq )


Adding elements:
suffix! ( seq elt -- seq )

append! ( seq1 seq2 -- seq1 )


Other destructive words:
reverse! ( seq -- seq )

move ( to from seq -- )

exchange ( m n seq -- )

copy ( src i dst -- )
