The Beauty of JavaScript

As to standards, rather than bake a lot of type-checking overhead into JavaScript, I’d suggest that we work toward standards for documenting our code through convention and comment. Today’s IDEs are better suited for type-checking and general “saving us from ourselves” than the actual compilers or script processors. Witness JS Lint. If an IDE sees that we are using nSomething as a string, rather than a number, an IDE can tell us that while we are writing the code.
