I think prototypes are easily the most misunderstood. I don't think they are necessarily complicated, I just think people don't take the time to really understand them.

As a developer, I think the best way to learn is to stop thinking about using classes as you would in Java or C++ , just completely remove that way of thinking .

What do you think about ES6 adding the class construct?
