    @monolith JavaScript's prototypal inheritance model is more powerful than classical inheritance. You can mimic classical inheritance in JavaScript, but you *cannot* mimic prototypal inheritance in C++, Java, etc. JavaScript is not an abomination. It's the first descendant of Lisp, Scheme, and Self to make it mainstream. It's got bad parts of course, but its good parts are really, really good.

    Watch this video "Volume One: The early years" here to see how JS came to be and why it's smarter than you give it credit for:
