++tilly for proving a surprising (to me, at least) example of where JS's object modeling goes wrong.

Personally, I think javascript's object model is cleaner than ruby's, but its prototype model seems quite alien when you're coming from a language that distinguishes classes and objects and for some reason javascript tries so very hard to hide that fact by stuffing so much niceness behind so many ugly constructs (for instance, when you've understood the JS model of inheritance, the new constructor() special operator and all it entails no longer makes any sense at all)
