It's clear at first glance to someone familiar with the language that the site is about Javascript methods, but for the benefit of those who are not very familiar, it would be nice if the site called that out in the title or a subhed.


Thanks, we've updated the title. We don't always need to call out such things, but when a headline has broader enticement than what it actually delivers then we're into misleading or clickbait territory.


I work in computational genomics so programming languages in general was not even the first thing I thought of.


That was exactly my first thought. Do we just assume javascript this days? Not even a title or two liner of what is going on.


Why should the site need to call that out? It's about Javascript.

A better approach would be to edit the title here, and any other place linking to it.
