Got a question on: https://github.com/mrdavidlaing/javascript-koans/blob/master/koans/AboutInheritance.js After applying "Crockford's inheritance improvement", the comment says I "no longer need to call the Muppet (base type) constructor". I'm not seeing the difference for the code for Gonzo and the code for the SwedishChef, though. (Well, aside from the call to beget().) What am I missing? Overall, though, the koans are helping me grok Javascript quickly and (reasonably) well. Thanks for doing them! Dunno if you’ll be notified of this, so I’ll cc: your GitHub account…
