JS has two kinds of problems: the kinds of problems like a single number class, and the kinds of problems like implicit global scope. The latter are solved by reading JavaScript: The Good Parts and/or writing CoffeeScript. The former is a result of an idiotically simple core of the language, but also because nobody is clamoring for it. As a trade-off, though, you get JSON!
