No longer relevant in the same way as before (ES2015 et al). Closing.

@kjbekkelund Are you sure? The new syntactic sugar doesn't change any of the underlying semantics or the inner workings of both context or prototypes. I might be considered conservative in the later JS years, but I think it is very important to know how prototypes work and how context work. There might be better resources for it, but I think it just as - if not even more - important as before. (I believe firmly that good JS developers need to know that there is no such thing as class, but it is syntactic sugar for prototypes. Not class as you might expect from other languages.)

@mikaelbr Good points. Never really got through the content (as I think it's difficult to read, but might just be the typography and design that's throwing me off). I'm open to adding it if you're a fan of the content. 👍

I don't think this is necessarily the best resource. I agree with the ease of read. But I don't think the content it self is out dated, and I think we definitely need to cover it.

Agreed. I would prefer something that also cover some of the ES2015 stuff, where it's relevant.

I'll add it as a request, tho we have articles on both inheritance and this/context. Might look for more modern iterations though. But luckily, they haven't been "deprecated"/outdated yet.
