To be fair, the list of issues are what someone from an OO background will eventually run into when using JavaScript, and the article does offer solutions to those issues for people who want them fixed (namely cross-compilation, or models for dealing with small or large projects). That said, people using JavaScript should be playing to JavaScript's strengths, or picking a different (if not cross-compiled) platform. It's bizarre that people from fundamentally different programming backgrounds complain about these issues. If you don't like C, don't use C. If you don't like JavaScript, write a native application, or cross-compile. There are options, they're in heavy deployment on several major websites, use them. Then everyone can pick the platform they're most comfortable with.
