I agree, interface is arcane but once it clicks... And that may be a problem - world divided by those who grasped that Object.__proto__ === Function.prototype and other. I've heard similar stories in XSLT land. What if interface matters? Just recently I've discovered how to clear some confusion: Object Object.proto === null object = new Object object.proto === Object object.toString === Object.toString fun = new Function fun.proto === Function It's almost io (just don't touch 'constructor') Object = Object.prototype Function = Function.prototype syntax new = function (ctx) { let ident = ctx.next().value return #`new ${ident}.constructor` } // bonus point - make it more like io Reflect.defineProperty(Object, 'proto', Reflect.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(Object, '__proto__')) And io is great!
