What is quite a disappointing fact, instead of enhancing the language quality, addressing the code issues and simplifying the development, we see the new standards popping up with additions to the language, but keeping the old issues as well. Now "at" should be used instead of "[]", it makes a lot of sense, but will anyone learn that? Will the courses in popular websites address that? Nope.

It is clear they are trying to keep the backward compatibility, but enhancing the slicing operator would be so much better to the JS, developers, and the future of the dev in general.
