Agreed. After all, it's roughly a cross between Self and Perl...
with Self being basically a peculiar dialect of Smalltalk.

I note that Javascript has regex literals...

The OO models of JS and Perl are in fact amusingly similar. And
wouldn't you know, just like with Perl, there are lots of JS libs
trying to fix JS OO, though for an independent reason: JS has
neither multiple prototypes per object (as Self does) nor
prototype "cascading" (which would have been more like Perl's
class-based OO).
