It seemed like whole way classes are defined in java script seems a little hackish. Functions and are first class object, but using a function to make a class is just weird when coming from a java or c++ background. Are there any programming languages that have this method of making classes?

It's called Prototype-Based Inheritance, as opposed to Class-Based. Another such language is Self.
