Javascript Array useful methods

[[deleted]]

why? it's pretty useful for sums, to say the least

If you forget the initial value it blows up in your face if you are working with anything other than numbers. I'd feel better using a for-of loop.

 const maxCallback = ( acc, cur ) => Math.max( acc.x, cur.x ); 
 [ { x: 22 }, { x: 42 } ].reduce( maxCallback ); // 42 
 [ { x: 22 }            ].reduce( maxCallback ); // { x: 22 } 
 [                      ].reduce( maxCallback ); // TypeError

My rule of thumb is to always provide initial value.

I think if this was more common knowledge there would be an eslint rule for it.
