Alternative Lazy JavaScript Inheritance

Tue, 12 Jun 2007 07:45:16 GMT

Lazy Inheritance is an approach intended to simplify writing OOP and provides support of prototype-based classes hierarhies, automatic resolving and optimizing classes dependencies. Lazy inheritance designates a postponed linking of an object with it's prototype (class) until it is needed.
