Yep, the concept of the "prototype" is very integral to JavaScript, and I think its often not understood fully. I actually like the mixin concept much more than multiple inheritance, as I find the mental model to be a bit clearer. For example the "diamond problem" is very clear with a mixin and easily resolved (latest mixin wins) vs more confusing in many languages (looking at you Go with "ambiguous selector" error.)
