That'd be a little weird if that was Eich's "original vision" considering `Object.assign` didn't come out until ES6. Which was also when the `class` keyword was introduced.

Good catch. It’s been a while since I’ve been thought the ways of old JS so I’m misremembering. It’s all apocryphal anyhow.

It's not apocryphal if I'm the source. I wanted Self-ish prototypes and cloning but "Make It Look Like Java" orders trumped my wishes.
