...says someone who doesn't understand the power and expressiveness of prototypal inheritance!


tbf It took me a while to grok it, but once you get it and start to use prototypal inheritance properly (instead of trying to fight it and force it to look like classic class-based inheritance) you'll find it a lot more rewarding.

That's not quite what code smell means. It comes from the common idiom that "something doesn't smell right" (https://www.englishidiom.com/glossary/something-doesnt-smell-right/) and in the context of code it refers to the feeling that an experienced developer gets when looking at a piece of code and can see that it 'looks wrong', without necessarily being immediately able to identify the specific problem. Possibly it ends up just being sloppy coding style, but often sloppy coding is an indicator of sloppy thinking, so there is a correlation, there.
