prototype vs __proto__

All objects have an internal property called [[Prototype]]. The value of this property is either null or an object and is used for implementing inheritance.

[[Prototype]]

• An object specifies its prototype via the internal property

proto

• This brings direct access to [[Prototype]] to the language(by speakingjs.com).

• __proto__ is the actual object that is used in the lookup chain to resolve methods, etc. prototype is the object that is used to build __proto__ when you create an object with new:

prototype

• prototype is the object that is used to build __proto__ when you create an object with new.
• prototype is not available on the instances themselves (or other objects), but only on the constructor functions.
• prototype is only available on functions since they are copied from Function and Object, but in anything else it is not. However, __proto__ is available everywhere.

( new Foo ).__proto__ === Foo.prototype;
( new Foo ).prototype === undefined;
