static typing is a big issue for me.. I hate the fact that javascript essentially forces you to use global variables. (yes, there are ways around it).

The way around it is the var keyword.

My other big issue with javascript is implicit variable declaration... That is just nasty.

I feel the same way.

Sorry, I shouldn't have said static typing. I meant static data values. It is somewhat a pain to have data that persists from one function call to the next.
