Enumerability in JavaScript, or “why some properties are dimmed in a console.log”

Looping through an array of integers with a for..in loop. The dimmed, or enumerable, length property is highlighted.

I’d seen dimmed properties before, and I always thought of them as the properties that are there by default, or ones I’m not supposed to manipulate. It turns out that’s pretty much correct. The technical term for that is that dimmed properties are non-enumerable vs. enumerable properties.
