Executable child instances

README.md

Proof of Concept

Black magic! Executable child instances!

Tested with nodejs.

LOLheritence.js

/* ------------------------------ Main Class ------------------------------ */
// Returns "instances" of itself which are actually functions.
function Ben ( greeting ) { var Parent, scope
  function Scope () {
    // Here is where you put your normal constructor junk
    this.greeting = greeting
    this.colours = [ 'yellow', 0xFFFFFF ]
  }

  // Magic
  function Proxy() {
    Scope.prototype.init.apply( scope, arguments )
  }
  Parent = arguments.callee
  function Dummy() {}
  Dummy.prototype = Parent.prototype
  Scope.prototype = new Dummy()
  scope = new Scope()
  Proxy.__proto__ = scope
  
  // Go time!
  return Proxy
}

Ben.prototype.init = function( name ) {
  console.log( this.greeting + ' ' + name + '!' )
}

Ben.prototype.lol = function() {
  console.log( '"' + this.greeting + '" is silly!' )
}

/* ------------------------------ Demo ------------------------------ */
var b = Ben( 'hai' )
console.log( b.greeting ) // hai
console.log( b.colours )  // [ 'yellow', 16777215 ]
b( 'Ben' )                // hai Ben!
b.lol()                   // "hai" is silly!

And Opera too...
