Do not expect to find anything like Javascript craziness on other languages. Or you'll be severely disappointed.

There are plenty of languages with warts at least as bad as JavaScript's. Bash, PHP, C, even relatively sane languages like Python still have huge issues like implicit variable declaration.

JS and PHP are by themselves in a special ring of hell.

Bash is a bigger one. Luckily there's nushell

for (const item in items) { }

!=

for (const item of items) { }

for _, item in ipairs(items)
