Dejavu is also the name of an interesting ORM for Python -- basically gives you linq-like queries in Python, compiled down to SQL through AST inspection. http://blip.tv/pycon-us-videos-2009-2010-2011/dejavu-language-integrated-query-for-data-1958907 http://blip.tv/pycon-us-videos-2009-2010-2011/dejavu-languag...

  I choose dejavu as the name for the library because of the familiarity you feel when using it, specially when you programmed in languages like PHP. The same analogy with the library you mentioned also applies but for different things.

dejavu is a set of Object Oriented Programming tools that aims to deliver classical inheritance on top of JavaScript prototypal inheritance, easing the process of moving from other traditional OOP languages, like PHP, Java, AS3, and others into JavaScript. Its main features include: - High performance; - Classes (concrete, abstract and final); - Interfaces; - Mixins; - Private and protected members; - Static members; - Constants; - Method signature checks; - Capability to extend or borrow from vanilla classes; - Custom instanceOf with support for interfaces; Of course this is a matter of flavour, and some developers would rather work with vanilla JS. Still there are a lot of developers that find comfort in working with a more structured codebase, specially in projects involving bigger teams, which enforce traditional OOP guidelines. There were already some libraries out there that could achieve many of the features we expected, but none offered the performance we required, which is why we opted for building this library. With its optimiser, you get better performance than handwritten JavaScript specially in node.js, Chrome and Safari.

I really wish people that want to add class-based, C++/Java-style constructs to JavaScript would stop calling it "OOP" or "traditional OOP".

  I think it is perfectly valid. If you immediately got the point, I think it is doing a good job.
