I haven't even touched what looks like the cesspool of prototype. Probably something I should learn.

Mozilla Developer Network[^]:

When it comes to inheritance, JavaScript only has one construct: objects. Each object has a private property which holds a link to another object called its prototype. That prototype object has a prototype of its own, and so on until an object is reached with null as its prototype. By definition, null has no prototype, and acts as the final link in this prototype chain.

I still have to give our own Sander's Javascript LINQ a whirl

Working with arrays and dictionaries is really easy

var array = [2, 5, 9];
var index = array.indexOf(5);
if (index > -1) {
    array.splice(index, 1);
}

var l = new List([2, 5, 9]);
l.remove(5);

if ("A" in ["A","B","C"]) then 
  .. do something.  

function SetOf(arr) {
  var obj = {};
  for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    obj[arr[i]] = arr[i];
  }
  return obj;
}

if ('A' in SetOf(['A','B','C'])) 
  .. do something.

I'll admit that you usually don't need LINQ in your browser and getting arrgh just for remove is a bit overkill
