The library at the bottom isn't anywhere near a typed objects polyfill - it just packs data into small spaces. Typed Objevts would let you have objects where properties are of a static type (int8, Boolean, string) and they are stored using Array Buffers.

Sure, the underlying storage mechanisms are different and it doesn't support as many types, but I didn't say it was a good polyfill.
