Which sections were interesting? It seems like Javascript wants to be accessible to programmers coming from all different languages, and thus is extremely permissive.

It's kind of scary to note all the ways that JavaScript doesn't fail when you might wish it would.

Which sections did you totally skim? In general- code blocks (see below)

Do you think the reading was valuable? I have a tough time learning by reading. The chapters were all well written and discussions of high-level concepts stick with me, but I can't absorb the examples written in code. I have to learn by writing code myself. Suggestions welcomed for tutorials/exercises that might help me become more comfortable with these topics.

Which topics were notably confusing?. The bits in Speaking Javascript about the quirks and elegant features of the language felt important, but I don't have enough experience with the language (or with languages being compared to Javascript) to know what was being referred to.

Reduce. I am still confused about how it works and how to use it. Lodash. It seems like all of the methods we learned in Lodash are also defined on Arrays, what's the difference and why choose one over the other?
