The unknown features of Python's `operator` module

I'm not sure I've observed a lot of folks in the JavaScript world using Map. I agree there are occasions when it's very useful, but for my money those have more to do with cases where you need non-string keys. For everything else, as far as I can tell, Objects remain entirely idiomatic despite their idiosyncrasies.

That's interesting - I must have just been lucky in what I've encountered ES-wise as of late. It relieved me greatly to no longer have the horror of mixing user data and method/"special" names.

I love

  { __proto__: null, foo: 'bar' }

That creates a clean prototype-less map/record object. I always wish they would add special literals to create such objects.

oh, this is fascinating. I might have to add this to my bag of tricks.
