Benchmark: weakmap vs closure vs symbols

Script Preparation code:

function A() {
	var x = 0;
	return {
		incr() { x ++ },
		get() { return x },
	}
}
var closure = A();
closure.incr()

var wm = new WeakMap();
function B() {
	var x = {
		incr() { wm.set(x, (wm.get(x) || 0) + 1) },
		get() { return wm.get(x) },
	}
	return x
}
var weakmap = B();
weakmap.incr()


function C() {
	var me = Symbol('me');
	var x = {
		incr() { x[me]++ },
		get() { return x[me] },
		[me]: 0,
	}
	return x
}
var symbols = C();
symbols.incr()
