alt Hacker Newslooked into it more and the docs say that an index out of bounds will return nil. also says if offset == size and length >= 0 it will return an empty array.
``` If offset == self.size and size >= 0, returns a new empty array.
If size is negative, returns nil. ```
either way if you are doing stuff with arrays and not checking bounds you can throw an `Array(some_array.slice(x, x+100))` and it will always behave.
Sure, the docs seem to be accurate, but that only explains "what will this do?", not "why is this what it will do?" It's not what I expect most people would come up with if they designed this API, so I have to wonder why they didn't pick something more intuitive
