kendoui grid assign an array as datasource instead of array of object

I am working with KendoUI grid. I want to assign an array as data-source to the grid instead of using array of objects. 

dataSource: [
   [ "User One", 3 ],
   [ "User Two", 3 ]
]

instead of using 

dataSource: [
     { name: "User One", age: 3 },
     { name: "User Two", age: 3 }
]

Is this possible?

It is possible, but it's not completely functional. It only works "to some extent" and certain things won't work(I.E. Editing and selection).

In the linked post they also mention that they don't have any plans to implement it, though that was a few years ago.

var source = [
   [ "User One", 3 ],
   [ "User Two", 33 ]
];

$('#myGrid').kendoGrid({
  columns: [
    { field: "[0]", title: "User" },
    { field: "[1]", title: "Number" }
  ],
  dataSource: {
    data: source
  }
});
