Who is complaining about Lexical scoping? A bunch of Lisp diehards?

Lol. No one really. Just necessary to point out what's possible with Prototypal inheritance.

Well I'd say Javascript only recently got proper lexical scoping with let before that you had global and function level and all the weirdness that brought about.

Plus prototypal inheritance is wonderful and it's a damn shame it confuses so many people.
