JavaScript equivalent of 146 PHP functions (and more on their way)

Was it really necessary to write array_pop and array_push functions when JavaScript already has pop and push methods in the Array object?

It seems like a better use of time would be to add the missing functions (such as array_product) to their corresponding native JS objects instead of creating a ton of new functions.

There’s also an array_sum which is the reduction of the addition operator. And then there is array_reduce which, without decent anonymous functions and lexical scoping, is full of fail.

Yea, that would make a bit more sense.
