Hi there, really cool one-liners! My favorite is the true type one. I actually use it in almost all of my projects.
I'm not sure about the isArray though. This is indeed a one-liner, but in my opinion, it does not add much, besides being a shorter named version of the verbose Array.isArray. Wrapping a function that does exactly what you want with another function seems overkill to me. Don't you think?
An array is an object. Whether it's an Array is a separate question. I suppose if trueTypeOf were documented, describing its semantics, it would be clearer. Remember, all, syntax doesn't convey everything. You also need semantics. :)

Just use typeof

Yeah, sometimes it's handy to just call a function to check, rather than doing
Array.isArray(arr)you know.
