Even though triple scripts are not JS, let's discuss JS briefly.

JavaScript, as a language, is "Smalltalk for the masses" (even if they don't know it). Unfortunately, many people (including Crockford) decided to wage a bizarre and unnecessary war on this. Unlike the Enterprise JS community, triplescripts.org encourages programmers to embrace this.

Triple scripts are unrepentantly about promulgating and promoting ideals that are shared with or inspired by Smalltalk; viz. The repo is the IDE and selective reification.

On the other hand, triplescripts.org generally advocates against inheritance and specifically against deep class hierarchies.
