gollark: JS is also ridiculously weakly typed and evil.
gollark: Except it doesn't actually have tuples, but close enough.
gollark: `forEach` also passes the function the index and entire array because of course.
gollark: Oh wait, no you can't.
gollark: You can also do `Array.from("abc").forEach(console.log)`, which seems cleaner.
