Would you elaborate on the issue? JavaScript actually does have a type system, it's just not very transparent. Using triple equals will not coerce types when comparing, whereas double equals will.

does Bash count as a mainstream language? :P (just kidding)
Yes. SQL too.

Neither are intended to be general purpose languages though.
