As an aside, I find English to be a beautiful language. By stealing words from so many origins (Saxon words, Latin worse and Old Norse words), there's so much versatility.
The Saxon words are direct and burly. E.g. oak, brash, death, iron, etc. The Latin words are multisyllabic (e.g. multisyllabic :) ). The Norse words are just plain fun (e.g. Yule, law, heathen, oaf).
It's nice to be able to choose depending on context. Similarly, I find versatility to be nice in JS, as the community goes from embracing OOP to a more functional style.
