	To my mind, there is one very big reason we should be cautious about 
adopting JS language-design policies, namely, that they have led to a 
very, very poorly designed language.  No doubt a good deal of that is 
baggage from early stages in which JS had a poor to nonexistent language 
design governance model.  Nonetheless, the failure of JS to fix its 
numerous fundamental flaws, and especially the rapid feature churn in 
recent years, suggests to me that their model should be viewed with 
skepticism.
