> One of the reasons I have so much fun working in node/Javascript these days is because it is simple and not much has changed in express/node/etc for a long time. If I need an iterable that I can simply move through, I just do `let items = [];`. It is so easy and hasn't changed for so many years. I worry that we eventually come out with a dozen ways to do an array and modern code becomes much more challenging to read.
The let keyword didn't exist in JS when Node was first released, nor did for/of, which while unstated in your post, is probably what you are thinking of when you posted this. The language has not stayed the same, at all.
