Classical Vs prototypal inheritance

Question

After reading about both, I just have curiosity, how programming community uses this? In what situation which?

Answer 1

Prototype-based inheritance is more flexible. Any existing object can become a class from which additional objects will be spawned. This is handy where your objects offer several sets of services and/or they undergo a lot of state transformation before your program arrives at the point where the inheritance is needed.
