The spread operator does not have the same quirk. I use it but it's still a bit weird tough

[...new Array(1000)].map(something)

You can drop the new

[...Array(1000)]

I think that is the least bits. Would love to be proven wrong :D

It may be shorter, but I like the spread syntax best used sparingly, it's harder to grasp why it was necessary there at a glance.

That's what I like in the elegance of Array.from({ length: 1000 }): it's a hack, but it reads naturally.

"Harder to grasp" only lasts until you're mildly familiar with the idiom.

[...Array(1e3)]
