Revising prototype-based inheritance in JS discovered a worth mentioned way of defining , some may say "overhead", prototypeless namespaces in global & local scopes , i.e.:
// global namespace : global_namespace = Object.create(null) global_namespace['namespace_name'] = "global_namespace"; console.log(global_namespace) // {namespace_name: 'global_namespace'} // local namespace : (function (){ // TIP # classically we could use function-scoped var instead of let, but ***"let"*** it be : let local_namespace = Object.create(null); local_namespace['namespace_name'] = "local_namespace" return [local_namespace, global_namespace]; }()) /** Console output : (2) [{…}, {…}] 0: {namespace_name: 'local_namespace'} 1: {namespace_name: 'global_namespace'} # NOTE : global accessible through n-th tuple nesting length: 2 [[Prototype]]: Array(0) */ local_namespace // local_namespace is not defined at <anonymous> # just as expected Since ed. 2 :
Prototypeless also means constructorless a.k.a singleton, but not vice versa i.e. constructorless can be prototype-based in JS land :
