> I have this impression the language was designed to duplicate as much code as you possibly can

You're right about the limits of jquery, but JavaScript is not like Java inasmuch as repetitious JavaScript is a near-sure sign that you're doing it wrong. I'm working on a larger script too these days, and code organization is a problem for me, too, but repetition isn't really.
