JavaScript’s prototypes are a simple and elegant way to represent a very simple form of inheritance in an object-oriented program. This talk introduces examples of semantics from other programming systems, such as mixins, singleton metaclasses, aspect-oriented programming and heterogeneous inheritance.
We’ll then see how to build these semantics in JavaScript using prototypes. At the end of this talk, we’ll see that JavaScript’s prototypical inheritance is an excellent tool for building the precise inheritance system you need.
