FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

playing around with an `Object.make()` helper
// `Object.make(..)` is a helper/wrapper for `Object.create(..)`. Both create a new
// object, and optionally link that new object's `[[Prototype]]` chain to another object.
//
// But `Object.make(..)` makes sure the new object always has a `__proto__` property
// (even a null one) and delegation to a `isPrototypeOf(..)` method, both of which are
// missing from the bare object (aka "Dictionary") created by `Object.create(null)`.
//
// `isPrototypeOf()` is put on a extra object that your created object can delegate to,
// if any only if you create an empty object (by not passing a `linkTo`) that otherwise
// wouldn't have access to `isPrototypeOf()`.

OLOO (objects linked to other objects) pattern explored (with comparison to the prototype style of the same code)
function Foo(who) {
this.me = who;
}
Foo.prototype.identify = function() {
return "I am " + this.me;
};
function Bar(who) {
Foo.call(this,"Bar:" + who);
