It's true that the implementation model didn't change, but the conceptual model did: the new "class" thing lets people express designs containing what they call "classes" with "methods" even though what they're building is constructor functions that return objects where some of the properties are occupied by functions. That kind of chicanery isn't unique to JS, by the way, which I mention because of the unfair malignment of JS in the original article. Smalltalk-80 syntactically has blocks, but the code in a block is just compiled into the surrounding method and the block invocation is a fancy GOTO statement.
