As someone proficient in both languages I find that claim hilarious. Now granted, there's a lot of JavaScript out there written by programmers coming from a classical inheritance background (i.e. PHP, C#, Java) who therefore never leverage prototypical inheritance at all, and those programs are trivial to port between the languages, but that isn't all there is to JavaScript. > >
