I for one consider that a feature - it is easy enough to write bad code in JS as it is, so anything that encourages defensive coding and solid unit/functional tests is very appropriate for this particular language. A crash certainly dr

One common example would be to refer to instance properties of an object from a method that is attached to the object's prototype. Actually I think using bind() would be a very unusual thing, but that could just be my style of writing

I don't own a TV. :) I do watch some movies now and again though, especially when flying long haul but I never had one that mentioned those. Off the top of my head I can only think of 24 as a candidate but I never watched that.

This is a valid concern, if it applies to your individual scenario. Nothing wrong with using the right tool for the job.

I'm still using Make for all my minification / bundling / test running needs. Now and again I think to learn some trendy tech then never get round to it. Next time I remember it's already something different. :)
