>I realized it aided compatibility with languages that do not support homogeneous arrays.

Don't you mean languages that only support homogeneous arrays (or languages that do not support non-homogeneous)?

As the spec says that the array elements must all be of the same type, thus homogeneous.

If I a mistaken, can you please explain why?

I meant "only support homogeneous arrays," or "do not support heterogeneous arrays," and apparently got the two wordings mixed up. Thanks.

looks like you can put string arrays and int arrays into the same array though.

"data = [ ["gamma", "delta"], [1, 2] ] # just an update to make sure parsers support it"

so in a static language it would be like: Array<Array<???>> not sure this makes any sense
