If you search for “Javascript” or “Javascript array” right now (October 2010) the results you find are actually pretty poor, this has many drawbacks. People new to Javascript will see bad code and bad practices, which will give them bad results which, in the end, will make a lot of people unhappy. This is one of the reasons why Chris Williams started a campaign to improve the findability of good Javascript documentation.
