JavaScript. They can struggle with the conceptual leap from a
strongly typed, object-oriented compilation language to a dynamic,
weakly typed scripting language. This confusion can make it
difficult for developers to correctly declare Dojo classes. This

necessary to set context, and describes how to go about it."
