TBH, I think the main difficulty is caused by people claiming there's some huge difference between prototype based and class based OO. There isn't, really (at least, not if you're comparing JavaScript and other widely used dy

There's one pretty clear difference: the bubblegum seller isn't offering the bubblegum at no cost, so they're saying "I made something, I think you're willing to pay for it, so I deserve to get paid." The publi
