Probably that's part of the problem. More experience in a
language helps.
I suggest to use TypeScript (http://www.typescriptlang.org/ ),
it has static types, more Java-style classes, better modules,
and more; that give a more tidy and ordered kind of coding. If
JavaScript gains integers too, programming in TypeScript
probably becomes bearable even for die hard D programmers :-)
