<https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/10.0/index.html#sec-global-object>

"18 The Global Object"

<https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/10.0/index.html#sec-fundamental-objects>

"19 Fundamental Objects

19.1 Object Objects

19.1.1The Object Constructor

The Object constructor:

    is the intrinsic object %Object%.
    is the initial value of the Object property of the global object.
    creates a new ordinary object when called as a constructor.
    performs a type conversion when called as a function rather than as
a constructor.
    is designed to be subclassable. It may be used as the value of an
extends clause of a class definition."

Hmmm... at least the specification is then quite confusing if the
language is not object oriented.

And even classes exist since ECMAScript 2015:

<https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/10.0/index.html#sec-class-definitions>

<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Classes>

So why should one consider JavaScript *not* object oriented?
