An incomplete list of bizarre failings of the JavaScript programming language
  • Prototypal inheritance forces an unstated empty object onto your object with key prototype
  • functions can act as object constructors but with the same syntax
  • empty array members break loops
  • Infinity/-Infinity
  • +0/-0
  • null is an object
  • testing NaN === NaN is always false
  • typeof always returns object" for all different reference types
  • the type of NaN (not a number) is literally "number" but as a string
  • void looks like a Java class but its only job is to return undefined
