    I’m just poking fun that the fundamental type in JS (Object) is an associative-array/hashmap. Technically it has some fancy under-the-hood handling for pure arrays and primitive types. This is also exactly true of Lua, and a little true of Ruby and Python.

    Really, most programmers would do great to start with a hash map or array list and only specialize out further when the problem calls for it.
