How are they similar? Are you talking syntax or semantics?

Syntactically, they both require explicit self/this references. Other
than that, what similarities do you see? Fundamentally, JavaScript
uses prototype inheritance while Python uses class inheritance.

And JavaScript is disgusting. It deserves to be maligned.
