Interesting behavior about ES6 array destructuring and swapping

Question

I just noticed that the following code, without immediately referencing one after let [one, two] = [1, 2], trying [one, two] = [two, one]

Answer 1

Add a semicolon to the 1st line, because the interpreter assumes that lines 1 and 2 declarations happen together, and one (and two) is not defined yet:

let [one, two, three] = [1, 2, 3];
[one, two] = [two, one]
console.log(one, two)

Answer 2

Cause its parsed like this:

 let [one, two, three] = [1, 2, 3][one, two] = [one, two]

To make it work, always suround destructuring assignments with parens:

 let [one, two, three] = [1, 2, 3];
 ([one, two] = [two, one]);
 console.log(one, two);

And never ever trust ASI, there are some cases like this were it goes wrong.
