I wonder which part of JS prototypal inheritance is not part of JS. new keyword exists since ages so what is the problem about "new", inheritance, and constructors?
On the other hand I must agree that jQuery is all but inheritance! If we need our prototypal based application why should we bother jQuery which aim is to manipulate DOM and/or associated events? It is like: I can't get by without Element.prototype.createBedge ... would you put such method for each DOM Element? I don't think so, and we have cloneNode or just jQuery(stuff).clone(), which makes sense. function A(){}; function B(){}; (B.prototype = new A).constructor = B; it is just that simple, and it has nothing to do with jQuery, imho.
