Why in JavaScript doesn't Map have anything like .map, .reduce, etc.?

[meeech]

Just wondering if anyone has any insight (links?) or was involved in any of the discussions around Map() in JS. Was just wondering - it seems like the general methods - map, reduce, some, etc... - would have been useful on Maps as well, so i got curious why they weren't?

IIRC, adding those operations was merely postponed, not rejected.

These are work-arounds: https://exploringjs.com/impatient-js/ch_maps.html#missing-ma...

Thanks. I was just curious about the why. i'm good with working around it.
