Is that really a crypto-specific problem, though? It seems like it's just yet another reason not to use JavaScript for anything serious.

Wouldn't a more strongly-typed language have prevented that bug at compile time?

Yes, the goal was/is to start with a very high level example then get more into crypto specific concerns.

The audience is for devs without any real experience/knowledge of using crypto that might go into it too casually.
