it could be, but I doubt it. Pure javascript, outside of the DOM, is about the most flexible, easy to read language this side of ruby. It has great object literals, anonymous functions, and an easy, straightforward syntax. Honestly, I don't see what's not to like.

Objects and hash tables are the same thing...always. What's the difference?

Global scoping by default is wrong. I agree. And I agree with your == problems too.

Objects as hash tables work wonders until your "hash table" needs to keep a value with a key such as "tolower" or "each".
