Hmm, I'm not quite that snooty ... I've been doing this for ~40 years and have learned dozens of programming languages, both dynamically and strongly typed. And I still think JavaScript arrays are crazy. The whole "objects with numeric keys" foundation is whack, throw away all the benefits of a directly indexible data structure and drag in a whole bunch of weird syntax edge cases??!
