In case you haven't seen it, the qooxdoo JavaScript library has an  
interesting class system, described here:

While I don't have any practical experience with it, it certainly  
seems 'cleaner' than some of the ad-hoc class-y-ness I've seen in  
other JS frameworks. @least parts of it; 'super' stuff is still  
awkward.
