Emerging JavaScript pattern: multiple return values

Re:Emerging JavaScript pattern: multiple return values by ubertaco on Thursday October 29, 2020 @06:27AM (#24928943)

Returning an object and returning an array aren't exactly new concepts in Javascript? The only relatively-new part is destructuring assignment, but that's been around since 2015, since it was added in ES6.

Right and the article is from 2018.

I have been using it for awhile.

Sure, but I’ve been returning objects for 10+ years

But you likely haven't been using destructuring assignment for 10+ years.
