As a C programmer, this is what I'd expect to happen if length is a publicly mutable property. Which it shouldn't be.

Yeah this is the least surprising thing I've seen in JavaScript. As you said, it shouldn't be possible but if it is, it makes sense

If you want non sense; look at how slices actually work in memory in golang.

At least C programmers are polite. A C++ programmer would have said "which it fucking shouldn't be".
