I've studied other prototype languages (Io for example), but JavaScript is the only one that I use on a regular basis or in a professional capacity. I imagine for the vast majority of developers, JavaScript is their only introduction to prototype inheritance.
Yeah, and that's a real shame because those developers will get a really bad impression of prototypes (unless they only use one of the class emulation libs and never learn about prototypes, of course).
