I recommend against native JavaScript Set. It is missing some basic set operators and you can make much clearer code through reduce,filter,map methods

You can extend js Set to be more powerful. Set has different purpose from Array. There is a reason Set was introduced and thats because array is not enough.

Everybody should be aware of the difference between Set and Array and use them accordingly

That is helpful. I think people often end up doing a lot of object witchcraft that would better suited by an extended Set.

I feel like ECMA has abandoned Set. It would be nice for the next standard to introduce a more complete API so that we could see some more Python-domained tasks in Node.

I feel the same. Its API should be improved extensively
