Hi,

Douglas Crockford seems to like the following inheritance approach:

if (typeof Object.create !== 'function') {
    Object.create = function (o) {
        function F() {}
        F.prototype = o;
        return new F();
    };
}
newObject = Object.create(oldObject);

It looks OK to me, but how does it differ from John Resig's simple inheritance approach?

Basically it goes down to

newObject = Object.create(oldObject);

versus

newObject = Object.extend();

And I am interested in theories. Implementation wise there does not seem to be much difference.
