Why is the prototype of the function 'Function' again a function and not an object like the prototype of the function 'Object'? [duplicate]

Question

This question already has answers here:

In JavaScript, why typeof Function.prototype is "function", not "object" like other prototype objects? (4 answers)

why typeof(Function.prototype) is function (4 answers)

Function.prototype is a function (3 answers)

Closed 5 years ago.

Function and Object are special types of a function, since having a capital letter starting, they are constructor-functions, right?

Functions as 1st class citizens in JavaScript can have methods (functions that are stored as properties in an object), as well.

So functions are objects, right? The constructor-function Function's property prototype has typeof "function" whereas the constructor-function Object's property prototype has typeof "object".

Why isn't it "object" both times?

typeof Function.prototype
>"function"
typeof Object.prototype
>"object"
Function.prototype
> ƒ () { [native code] }
Object.prototype
> {...}

• customcommander: Interesting. I never realised that ;) Please note that these are not special functions other than being native functions. The capital-letter-constructor thing is just convention. Some can be used as constructor only, other can be used to coerce into a different type (e.g. Number("42") //=> 42). Other are just "namespace", e.g. you can't invoke Math)
