I wonder what happened to SELF-like object systems (slots, prototypes and all that).

I mean high-performance implementations. Techniques to (statically) compile prototypes into efficient code were developed, but they are largely irrelevant to Javascript. High-performance modern implementations of JS rely on tracing JIT.

Pretty sure polymorphic inline caches are standard fare in both Javascript and other VMs (JVM, CLR, etc.). What other techniques are you referring to?
