Javascript is a bad language. Function scope. Terrible type system. Lack of native integers. Oh and btw this:

alert((![]+[])[+[]]+(![]+[])[+!+[]]+([![]]+[][[]])[+!+[]+[+[]]]+(![]+[])[!+[]+!+[]]);

which is should be a dead giveaway that something is terribly wrong here. It was never designed to have a standard library for instance. The author alludes to this fact as being a problem for nodejs that go/ruby doesn't have. Whenever I write a lot of front end code and then have to transition to writing backend code I realize how much my brain has melted trying to think in javascript.
