Could you explain what you mean by this?

I am not the original commenter, but - English is full of slang and borrowed concepts. And it has rules, but they aren't really enforced and there are many cases where the rules are explicitly broken. Every generation, we see new additions to the English language and removals of old/out of date phrasing.

When you look at it like that, yeah, it's kinda like JavaScript - not really object oriented and not really functional but borrows concepts from both, loosely typed (rules aren't really enforced), and there's a new library every month that drastically changes the language (slang, evolving with the generations).

I only speak English, so I'm not sure if other languages are like this.
