Pet-peeve from a Javascript Apologist:
The `map(parseInt)` example is an obscure strawman that exists solely due to historical purposes; it's very difficult to change this sort of thing in a language because it would involve one of two things:
1. Change the API of `parseInt`, break everything
2. Change the API of `Array::map`, break everything
If you want JS devs to respect your voice you may want to attack the more fundamental problems with the language, like its lack of type-safety, rather than the remnants of its "upbringing".
