Well, this is not a document meant to present JavaScript. It's actually quite literally meant to present JavaScript as "Fortran that can run in a browser". Here's the first sentence of the document:
The purpose of these notes is to introduce JavaScript
to Fortran programmers to the extent that they will
be able to write programs which can do most of the
less computational intensive Fortran tasks, such as
those associated with PS2h.`
