Not exactly.
My arguement was that while javascript has objects, it is indeed
prototype-based
It is only through arguement did any mention of javascripts
inheritence get a mention, which is also still true. This was not the
underlying factor, but something somone brought up.
I'm not sure why it is so bad that javascript be prototype-based? I
have said again and again that it still does have objects, sighted
many sources which state javascript as a prototype-based language and
other examples for the arguement along the way... It is still a good
language and there is nothing negative about prototype?
Anyway I only respond again because I don't like to be miss-
represented. If you still feel I am wrong and disprove of the wiki
articles stating it is prototype-based, you really should edit them as
it must be a miss-representation of javascript.

Yes. But, one final question. Was the first ever implementation of
JavaScript designed to be object-oriented, object-based, or
prototype-based?
Thank you all.
The first implementation of JavaScript is still alive in the form of
Mozilla SpiredMonkey, even though much of it has been changed since
then. It was designed to be object oriented through usage of the
prototypal inheritance scheme, so it's pretty much all three at once.
Since everything in JavaScript is an object, it can be said to be
object based as well as object oriented. Anthony Ziebell's argument
that it's prototype-based rather than object oriented is a false
dichotomy since prototypal inheritance is in fact one of the ways to
achieve objevt orientation. As such, a system can become object
oriented as a result of adding prototypal inheritance to an object
based system.
Anthony Ziebell is arguing that it's not object oriented based on the
false premise that classical inheritance is the way to achieve object
orientation and prototypal inheritance is not, despite himself linking
articles stating the contrary.
