Not quite. You should also use the spread operator when you are spreading an iterable into an array:

    const unique = [...new Set(arr)];

Seems like a needlessly unreadable alternative to Array.from unless you're combining multiple iterables or values an iterables e.g.

    const unique = [...a, ...b];

You might expect that concat would work, but it doesn't handle arbitrary iterables:

    > [].concat([1][Symbol.iterator](), [2][Symbol.iterator]())
    [Array Iterator, Array Iterator]
    > [...[1][Symbol.iterator](), ...[2][Symbol.iterator]()]
    [1, 2]
