> My biggest issue with the recent additions to the language is that there's now a thousand different ways to do the same thing

To be fair though, this has been an issue with Javascript since its creation (and has been getting worse as the language has been expanded while maintaining backwards-compatibility).

Many other languages have similar problems (Ruby is an offender that comes to mind, though it's perhaps not on the level of ES6+)

I'm not much of a polyglot, but one language which seems to have "one obvious way" as part of its design choices that springs to mind is Python. I have a hunch that pure-functional languages would be less choicy as well, though I have no familiarity with any.
