More likely, knowing our friendly neighborhood JIT-coders, Maps which only contain string keys will be optimized under the hood. ________________________________ From: Axel Rauschmayer [[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2013 16:01 To: Domenic Denicola Cc: es-discuss list Subject: Re: Rationale for Dict?

That’s a good point. And __proto__ being just another property helps tremendously. However, not having methods seems unfortunate.
