Why I don't like reduce
Read OriginalThis article argues against the frequent use of JavaScript's Array.reduce method, citing its complexity and poor readability. The author agrees with the eslint-plugin-unicorn 'no-array-reduce' rule, explaining that reduce's power and flexibility often lead to confusing code. Examples show how other array methods like join are simpler and more intention-revealing. The piece concludes that reduce should primarily be reserved for building reusable utility functions.
