I had a look in the ecmascript standard, but couldn't find anything about object or arrays being stored by reference.

Could you let me know what I missed?

ecma-international.org/publication...

What I did see was 'object values', which seem sufficient to explain how it all works, given that object properties are separate to object values.

Man, don't you have anything better to do?

I've seen you all around arguing about this... we understand. You are smarter cause you read the whole ECMAScript standard :)

So, it isn't part of the language?
