I don't have any of these problems when I use js. I mostly use delegates and notifications instead of callbacks. I always use this to refer to the called object. The inheritance model is very simple and better than many other oo languages like Ruby. I agree that the method for cloning an object is a bit obtuse but it is easily corrected so you can just call clone on any object. The lack of forward is a small but significant problem but it doesn't significantly hamper design of complex software. It isn't ideal that you that you can't import modules but again it doesn't prevent you from building well designed complex software.
