There is no “Javascript”.

_ECMAScript implementations_ are _not_ “duck typed language[s]”; instead, 
most of them support dynamic type-checking (often misnamed “loose typing”).

“Duck typing” is a programming technique instead that can be used with 
programming languages that support dynamic type-checking, but also with 
other programming languages.
