Javascript doesn't really have any classes, per se, and this method of "inheritence" does not correspond to classical inheritence.

See some of Douglas Crockford's stuff for more details.

I think the best way to do OOP in Javascript is Haxe. Not only for the "class foo { ... }" syntax, but also for the type inference.

OO need not be class based, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype-based_programming
