Yes this point was particularly ridiculous. Yes, this is a convention from Java (and C++), but I actually do this in my JS code as well. Every minifier will easily fix this for you, and in my opinion it makes things clearer. In fact, there exists an argument that this form of clarity is more important in a language like JavaScript precisely because you don't have a type system (in other words, seeing a 1.0 when an operation should clearly be dealing with ints can flag incorrect logic).
