Just in case you do not know, like me. “ I’m not proud, but I’m happy that I chose Scheme-ish first-class functions and Self-ish (albeit singular) prototypes as the main ingredients. The Java influences, especially y2k Date bugs but also the primitive vs. object distinction (e.g., string vs. String), were unfortunate... I still think of it as a quickie love-child of C and Self. Dr. Johnson‘s words come to mind: “the part that is good is not original, and the part that is original is not good.”” Self is smalltalk dervied. Scheme is lisp descendent. Java is c++. And JS as said is just evolved ... There is a reason why someone has demo 3 styles of programming in it. Just evolve to be everything.
