}

Tests:

slice
list.unshift({'s':'cad', 'p':13}) list.unshift({'s':'cad', 'p':14}) list.unshift({'s':'cad', 'p':15}) if(list.length>1000){ list=list.slice(0, 1000) }
splice
list.unshift({'s':'cad', 'p':13}) list.unshift({'s':'cad', 'p':14}) list.unshift({'s':'cad', 'p':15}) if(list.length>1000){ list.splice(1000, list.length); }
pop-while
list.unshift({'s':'cad', 'p':13}) list.unshift({'s':'cad', 'p':14}) list.unshift({'s':'cad', 'p':15}) while(list.length>1000){ list.pop(); }
pop-for
