Oh, the issues from that repo are entertaining. This issue alone should be enough to make the case that you shouldn't build a production trading system in JavaScript.

Unproductive, how?
Also, this isn't a javascript problem; this is a problem of trying to be too clever and not understanding implicit conversion, which happens in many languages.
