I've been reading a lot of nicely written JS in the Traceur compiler. They use a very conservative Java-like approach with Constructor functions and literal prototype property declarations. Sadly they must include workarounds for Object.create:
http://code.google.com/p/traceur-compiler/source/browse/src/traceur.js#80 WebInspector has a bit more rough and ready JS style, eg WebInspector.View.prototype.__proto__ = WebInspector.Object.prototype; Here's the irony: we can change the WebInspector code to use Object.create() specifically because they do not use object literal declarations for functions (and thus one line will make improvement). Since es-discuss seems quite keen on object literals, a couple of small improvements would help code move in your direction: A version of Object.create() that takes an object RHS. Object.merge() that merges the own non-function properties as own properties, the non-built-in-functions as prototype properties. (a compromise of the two common versions of extend, own and 'in' versions). jjb _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
