That's true in JavaScript - there's an Object.create() method, which creates new object with any other object set as prototype: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/create https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe... There is a problem with accessing prototypes of objects, as they are not exposed to the user and only available through internal property __prototype__ (IIRC). And there's quite a bit of magic involved with constructor prototypes, which - again - makes it impossible to traverse prototype chain unless you create your objects yourself and store the references yourself. So yeah, prototypes are nothing special in JS, but their API kind of sucks and could get better. Object.create is a step in the right direction IMO.
