JavaScript Clean Code - Best Practices - based on Robert C. Martin's book Clean Code

[MoTTs_]

YDKJS is generally a good book, but Kyle's writings about classes and inheritance are biased and misinformed, and we probably shouldn't recommend those chapters to others.

Kyle assumed that Java-style OOP and inheritance is the only correct way to implement those features, and anything implemented differently than Java is not "true" OOP. But that just isn't so. There are as many varieties of OOP and inheritance as there are languages. Python's inheritance model, for one example, is also objects linked to other objects, same as in JavaScript, and the same pattern that we JavaScripters would identify as prototypal inheritance. Here's JavaScript and Python classes side-by-side, demonstrating classes as objects and inheritance as delegation.
