Just because a language has a feature does not mean you need to use it. We use JavaScript, but in 90%+ of our codebase we use it without 'this', without prototypes, without classes, and without other ugly parts.

    JavaScript does not have an Integer primitive, it only has Number which is floating point. http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_numbers.asp http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_numbers.asp

      Why the downvotes? It answer the question. As I'm not a deep coder, what are the advantages of having an integer type versus a float type in the case of Javascript? Memory? Not having to use Math.floor, Math.ceil, or Math.round in case of funky divisions? I've used Javascript for years now without worrying over that particular detail.
