That's not really the point.
The suggestion is this instead:
```js
if (s[0] === '/') s = s.slice(1);
if (s[0] === '/') s .= slice(1);
```
This already exists in CoffeeScript and most derivatives/dialects.
```coffee
s .= slice 1 if s[0] is '/'
```
Don't know of any other languages that have an equivalent, though.
Really? Which version of CS, or which dialect are you using? It doesn't
work for me in the online tool
<http://coffeescript.org/#try:s%20%3D%20%22%2Fsomething%22%0As%20.%3D%20slice%201%20if%20s%5B0%5D%20is%20'%2F'>.
But if you're that much inclined to save single characters, I'd
recommend to use
```js
s = s.slice(s[0] == '/');
```
