How did you explicitly make it into an object literal?

    ({}) + []
    -> "[object Object]"

will correctly make it "[object Object]"

Did you try to do this?

    {a: 1} + []
    -> 0

That's interpreted as the statement 1 labeled a, not as an object. This makes it obvious it's not an object:

    {a: 1, b: 2} + []
    -> Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ':'

JavaScript supports labels so you can continue/break multiple levels at once:

    {
      a: while (true)
        while (true)
          break a;
    }

Yes, I realized after the fact that I was indeed making a label. I’m now back to not having an issue with JS
