For all the text the author wrote about how bad JavaScript is, I had to click through two links to find any actual substantive complaints about JS, which were (1) JS doesn't have an array type; (2) JS doesn't have an integer type. (1) seems false to me (extra false if you count Typed Arrays), and (2) is being worked on in the committee.

(I think JS has a lot of flaws, but it's not as bad as its reputation suggests.)

Not to mention the "Number as Double" issue has been called a massive mistake by most people involved in writing the standards.

However it's not a simple issue to change it at this point, but people ARE aware.
