Class-based programming
Class-based programming, or more commonly class-orientation, refers to the style of object-oriented programming in which inheritance is achieved by defining classes of objects, as opposed to the objects themselves .The most popular and developed model of OOP is a class-based model, as opposed to an...
Prototype-based programming is a style of object-oriented programming in which classes are not present, and behavior reuse is performed via a process of cloning existing objects that serve as prototypes. This model can also be known as classless, prototype-oriented or instance-based programming...

Class("Point3D", {
isa: Point,
has: {
z: {is: "rw"}
},
after: {
clear: function {
this.setZ(0);
}
}
});
Point3D is a subclass of Point. It has another attribute defined and additional code to run after running the superclass clear method. The "rw" means the attribute is readable and writable with a pair of get/set accessors generated automatically.
