Object.freeze: Immutable Objects

David Walsh

One of my favorite part of JavaScript has always been mutability of objects. I loved that MooTools and likewise frameworks could modify native prototypes to enhance them with functionality we knew the language need; in fact, I credit MooTools with pushing the web forward.
