You are preaching to the choir. :-) Alas, there is no consensus that prototypes are the better exemplar (class, object factory, ...). Some people prefer constructors. Constructor exemplars do have the advantage of being more compatible with existing code. If constructors are here to stay, we need to find a syntax that makes it easy to create them. Class literals and the various class definition patterns are all suitable candidates. -- Dr. Axel Rauschmayer [email protected] home: rauschma.de twitter: twitter.com/rauschma blog: 2ality.com
