console.log should not be a constructor (original) (raw)

• Subsystem:

In node, console.log behaves like a constructor without a prototype field. Other runtimes throw a proper type error in both lines below:

$ node
> new console.log();

consoleCall {}
> Reflect.construct(Boolean, [], console.log);
[Boolean: false]

Much love,
