There has been a long discussion here, a few months ago. I’ve tried to summarize it here: http://www.2ality.com/2011/06/prototypes-as-classes.html The discussion ended with the following conclusion: - Pro: Yes, it would make things simpler. I would even argue that new-style classes being able to extend old-style classes would be enough. Furthermore, Python has successfully switched from one style of class to another one. - Contra: It would introduce a second protocol for inheritance and it would probably not find universal acceptance (some people find prototypes-as-classes more elegant, others like constructor functions). Furthermore, class literals practically look and feel like prototypes-as-classes, so that it’s a good enough solution for me.
