Question

In trying to better understand the prototype behind javascript, I have stumbled upon the following, which I am unable to make sense of so far.

I understand that functions are a first class object, but I don’t get why Object gets this property after setting the property on Function.prototype

Function.prototype.foo = 'bar';

Object.foo // Object now has this property and returns 'bar'

Object.foo === Function.prototype.foo // returns true

Answer 1

Object is a function, typeof Object == 'function' is true. So you assign a property of Function.prototype, it will let the Object has the property also. (in the property chain.)
