I'm doing a bit of Photoshop scripting for the first time and it sure would be great to have a console.log-like function to output array and object values in the Javascript console of the ExtendScript Toolkit App.

Is there an equivalent function?

$.writeln() is what you're looking for. See the JavaScript Tools Guide (PDF) for details.
