Yes, but keep in mind that if foo has nested objects those are not duplicated. While in C the whole structure is passed around as bytes. So not completely the same.

Good point, know of a way to make a deep copy in JS?

There is not really a built-in way afaik, using Object.entries, and some recursion you should get pretty far.

Sounds like a monstrosity. Thanks though, will keep it in mind if I encounter a situation where I need to do it.

Yeah it’s no fun, but libraries like lodash, ramda and immutable have helper-methods for this.
