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 JavaScript, triple scripts 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.
