I love true generic functions (as in “multiple dispatch”) and think that they would be a good match for JS (not any time soon, but one can dream). I see generic functions as complementary to single dispatch (including prototypes). Reenskaug and Coplien [1] seem to agree. Generic functions are also great for working with data coming from web services (e.g. JSON).
