Actually, it doesn't. There is no real difference for practical purpose
between:

class Foo {
   Foo() { ... }
   void method1();
   void method2();
};

and:
function Foo() { ... }
Foo.prototype = {
    method1: function() { ... }
    method2: function() { ... }
}

... when you compare it with other languages that lack static
typechecking, that is.
