length is unintuitively recursive

[kristopolous]

In addressing #17 I ran into this

database = [
{
"artist": "Ludwig Van Beethoven",
"title": "Moonlight Sonata"
},
{
"artist": "Johann Pachelbel",
"title": "Canon in D Major"
},
{
"artist": "Johann Sebastian Bach",
"title": "Air on a G String"
}
]
``

echo database.length()

which emitted 6. In the JS world we'd probably think this to be 3.

Indeed 👍

Any progress on this, eh?
It's such a promising little pet project you have here.. just have some quirks to work out ;)

How about using bash arrays instead of name mangling variables..?

[kaos]

got around to try to fix it, in pull #28 .. :p

Sorry to revive such an old thread;
I just have to make this clear to first-time visitors:

The commit above (that Fixes #19) was merged into a branch bash-arrays.
So this issue's open because it's still not fixed on the master branch.
