To me, Javascript objects are gross, but TS has done away with a lot of that mess.

In this case, it didn't. That's just the reference-frame of the person who you replied to. Map, reduce, filter, etc existed long before JavaScript. I assume that's what they're talking about.

  Exactly what I meant. I never claimed JS invented these things, merely that I use them a lot.
