a `module` is about == to a namespace
`@name` is an instance variable in a class
self == this
puts == console.printLn
initialize == constructor
`def method(*args)` takes an arbitrary number of arguments, and 'splats' them in to an array in the `args` variable.  so we can call: `method(1,2,3,4,7775,5)

I've got some experimental stuff in unpublished branches / projects I use underscore in. Let me know if
you like any of these:

1.) Too many simple things take two lines to do in javascript, like:

    _.reduce(list, {}, function (memo, value) {
      memo[value] = true;
      return memo;
    });

  // Function that builds both min and max functions since they use the same logic,
  // the only thing difference being:
  //  - which Math function we use (min or max)
  //  - what the starting value is (Infinity or -Infinity)
  //  - what the comparison is (< or >) for the transform case.  
  //    We can't curry this away without evaling or calling a function, so just pass in
  //    true if we want to use a greater than comparison, false to use less than.
  //
  // For the cases where no transform function is given we fast path out this trick:

I thought of a good analogy to 'no ;' are bad argument:

~~~

I can recall getting bitten by 'no ;' once, but LOTS of times I've 
gotten the dangling ',' in object literal bug:

    this.options = { a:1, b:2, }
    
Modern browsers allow it so you typically don't spot it late in the game when ie7
