> Is there a simple way to create the list in JavaScript?


No, but you can create your own solution using `ES` features like `map` and `spread syntax`.

<!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true babel: false -->

<!-- language: lang-js -->

 var range = (start, end) => [...Array(end - start)].map((_, i) => start + i);
 console.log(range(1,9));

<!-- end snippet -->
