Err, I don't think that there is much relation between ECMAScript and
Self, even though I'll be the first to admit that I only just glanced
at the ECMAScript docs. It seems to me that in ECMAScript allowing for
dynamic modification of objects is optional. If memory serves me
right, in Self the _only_ way to alter an object is by changing its
inheritance.
Craig Chambers, purveyor of other fancy language implementations like
Cecil, made a great deal of contributions to Self, mainly in terms of
optimizations. More in it can be read here
