This should be posted once a year for review. It's incredible how many boneheaded decisions in Javascript's design are still with us. I used to hate JS for that reason. But you eventually internalize all of the pitfalls, and find out, possibly after reading the brilliant Javascript Allongé (http://leanpub.com/javascript-allonge http://leanpub.com/javascript-allonge), that the language has some brilliant aspects as well. It's abundantly clear at this point that we're stuck with it, so read your JavaScript Garden and make the best of it!
