Nonsense.  John G Harris still does not get it, and he is just trolling.
He does not even know what my favorite ECMAScript implementation is.

No Edition of the ECMAScript Language Specification makes any statement or 
places any requirements as to how objects are to be implemented in memory.

However, it is unreasonable to assume that an implementation would allocate 
twice the amount of memory to hold two objects with identical data content, 
and would on access copying data from one memory area to another when 
storing and dereferencing memory pointers would be more efficient.

One would wish that one would not have to teach simple logic like this to
John G Harris over and over again.
