ECMAScript uses prototype-based inheritance rather than class-based
inheritance but that does not mean it is not and object-oriented
language not that one should not write object-oriented programs using
it.

From page 1 of ECMA 262 (6th edition):

  "ECMAScript is an object-oriented programming language..."

Obviously you can't use the same design techniques as you would do with
class-based object languages, but that's not quite the same point.
