There's no rest for the Java programmer, now even JS coders join the SmallTalk/Lisp elite…

Is Crockford's dislike still based on this: http://www.crockford.com/javascript/inheritance.html ?

Because I don't quite buy into that line of thinking. I'm really looking forward to webassembly…




I think Crockford is wrong in that linked article. What he presents as unique features of prototype-based OO seem to really be features of highly dynamic OO. All of the things he implements in that article could be implemented just as easily (indeed, in more-or-less the same way) in Python or Smalltalk, couldn't they?
