Discussion on: The tale of three dots in Javascript

You have a bug in your code.

// old way
const fruitsAndVegetables = fruits.concat(vegetables);
const fruitsAndVegetables = fruits.push('carrot');

The second line will set fruitsAndVegetables to the count of the new length of the array. Not the reference to the array itself

Thanks for noting!

Hmmm, now you are mutating fruit array.
Are you sure you were not trying to do something like

const fruitsAndVegetables = fruits.concat(vegetables);
const fruitsAndVegetables = fruits.slice();
fruitsAndVegetables.unshift('carrot');

I don't believe there is a neat little 1 liner to do the equivalent without wrapping 'carrot' in a temp array.

I feel the same way...the new syntax is much more compact.
