what is the lookup performance characteristic of JS Objects compared to mutable hash-maps in other languages? Are they implemented more or less the same?

Depends on the host/engine I guess. I doubt it's specified

It's also arguable that they are different conceptually (hashing, str key only etc)

there was some silly problem/hack with async/await and npm in JS land recently. What was this again?
