Why is it better to have prototypal inheritance? What real problem does it solve?

    Sorry, I don't think you understand how OOP works. In classical inheritance, each object only contains its data and a reference to its class. The class owns the methods - they are not copied to every instance. Most uses of prototypal inheritance follow a similar pattern.

      I'm sorry about that. I misread an article that described the differences. I'm just going to delete that last comment...It's embarrassing.
