@aescling in my case, it is very important that my mappings do not change after object creation, which is easy to achieve on ordinary objects with `Object.freeze()` but impossible to guarantee with Maps. since my keys are all strings, `Object.create(null)` is the simplest and most straightforward approach.

@aescling Map and Set are always mutable and do not participate in general JavaScript property access semantics (enumerability, writability, etc.)

[there is a proposal for readonly Maps and Sets but it’s still only Stage 1]

when you do actually want to take advantage of javascript property semantics (enumerability, writability, getters/setters), you need to use ordinary objects to do it. `Object.create(null)` is a great way to do this when you only need the property semantics and not the prototype chain.

@aescling how so

@witchfynder_finder Venom: For Kids™

@witchfynder_finder what even is the point then

@witchfynder_finder but yeah the fans just act so entitled these days

i even like the team for the most part these days but it's seattle, man, you're not supposed to win every game

@witchfynder_finder bring back the days when everyone hated us for making the playoffs with a losing record, that was the shit

@witchfynder_finder honestly as a longtime seahawks fan i long for the days when they were Not Good, and the only thing keeping me from actively wishing they were worse is a feeling of rivalry with all the other teams in our division, who are unfortunately also excellent

@witchfynder_finder
seahawks fans 🤝 the rest of the NFL except for steelers fans

hating the steelers

@witchfynder_finder anyway yes

@witchfynder_finder have the seahawks like, ever done that

like even As A Seahawks Fan they always start slow
