The number of misconceptions about the languages that can be found by 
scanning that thread alone, and that one would have to unlearn to arrive at 
the truth is, for lack of words, fascinating.  There are statements there 
ranging from that “Javascript” were not *an* OOL at all, that there was 
something special like “Object-oriented Javascript” that needed to be added; 
that *it* was not JIT-compiled but interpreted; that either the way of 
inheritance or compilation had anything to do with the level of a 
programming language; that *it* was “a little OO” because *it* “has features 
of OO”, that you should not use “new”, “this”, and constructors, and so on.

Observing this, one must truly wonder how these people, including you 
unfortunately, can ever get anything done in this field.  I think it is fair 
to say that at this point “JSMentors” should be renamed to “JSWannabes”.

Your opinion (or shall I say “your misconception”?) is on page 3 of that 
thread here.  You should have referred to it directly, but then again you 
would have deprived me of the experience.

For how class-based inheritance can be properly and rather easily emulated, 
look into Function.prototype.extend() in JSX:object.js, and for how that can 
be put to good use look into other parts of JSX, for example 
JSX:dom/widgets.js.
