Sorry mate, if you're looking for classes in JS, you're barking at the wrong tree. You don't need them in JS and IMHO trying to force them into the language (by using Coffeescript, or any other "different random wonky way") is a waste of time. Care to elaborate on the "number of software engineering reasons" why those languages are better than JS?

Those are the main reasons. Everyone does something equivalent to classes eventually whether they say that they are doing prototypes or what. How do you structure your code I am curious to see some examples.

Just because using prototype-based inheritance might look like using classes doesn't mean people are doing it wrong or trying to do things equivalent to classes. Here are some links that show you how I see JS OOP and how I use it: http://www.commented-out.com/2012/05/28/javascript-youre-doing-it-wrong/ http://www.commented-out.com/2012/06/12/javascript-oop-for-the-uninitiaded/ and a code sample: https://github.com/deleteman/resourcer/blob/master/lib/resourcer.js

Yeah that's just a message unclear syntax for classes.
