Make any JavaScript method available in Google Sheets

Many functions in Google Sheets return an array as the result. However, I find that there is a lack of built-in support functions in Google Sheets when working with an array.

In JavaScript, there is the SLICE method that can return a part of an array. If I have an array const pricesWithHeader = ['Close', 10.5, 10.3, 10.1, 10.0];, to get only the last 4 elements [10.5, 10.3, 10.1, 10.0], I can apply the SLICE method like const pricesWithoutHeader = pricesWithHeader.slice(1);. How to slice an array in Google Sheets?

Google Sheets has scripting capability with Apps Script based on JavaScript. So to slice an array in Google Sheets, I need to create a SLICE method in Apps Script that wraps the original SLICE method of JavaScript. By doing so, the SLICE function is available to use in every cell of a spreadsheet.
