Technically Javascript does not have hashes at all, and you use bare objects instead, the confusion between objects and Array comes from PHP reprobates.
Lua is an other language with no arrays, and where hashes are used in stead. Additional entrants in the category are ~~Tcl~~ (got corrected, Tcl's associative arrays are called "arrays" but it has a separate "list" type for indexed sequences) and Awk.
Ok don't include JavaScript. So there is only PHP that does this? I'm just trying to find out where the article is coming from. I didn't think this was a common theme amongst languages.
