Fair point. In any case, if you wanted to do more than trivial array processing in JS, you would use a library like lodash which have an array max function. And if you think lodash is still to verbose, you can define your own: const å = list => list.reduce((x,y) => Math.max(x, y)); Now you can write å(list) to get the max value of an array!
