What I actually meant by that is using Classical Inheritance with faux classes and instantiating a new object with things like the new keyword instead of Prototypal Inheritance. Prototypal inheritance is more flexible and is probably the best part of JavaScript's OOP implementation.

Good to hear you say that. I fully agree. Most people don't like the whole prototype thing but I love it.

Coming from doing Java at university, it's taken a while to dig prototypes. I am still working on learning to actually love it. But I understand its power.
