A couple of thoughts about Function#bind: - it's part of the ES 3.1 draft, so will be found in browsers natively pretty soon, and - it's been been completely rewritten for our next release, so the overhead should be much lighter.
Regarding extensions of native prototypes in general, a lot of methods originally introduced by Prototype (the so-called rubyisms), which were then added to FF will make it to the ES 3.1 spec. Yes, there's one infortunate issue with Array#reduce, but the fact there we're now a lot more present on the ES 3.1 mailing list helps to make sure this won't happen again. One of the great assets of Prototype is it's language enhancement features. One of the great issues of Prototype is the way this causes pollution. Ideally, we can achieve better balance between those for Prototype 2.0. It's certainly on my plate!
