Prototype-based languages are classless object-oriented languages, OO without classes. Instances of objects are made by cloning other instances. Usually, these languages have only one data structure, the associative array. Such languages are very flexible during runtime, and far simpler than class-based languages. The original one was Self.

OO prototype-based, reflective language, based on only message passing, a key trait of OO languages; it allows late-binding polymorphism, the key trait making possible incremental modifying of programs. Descriptions, papers, implementations: Smalltalk, C++, Java, Scheme; MiniMix.
High-level, pure object-oriented, prototype-based, scripting language; Smalltalk-like syntax; some features borrowed from Scheme, Self, JavaScript. [Open Source, LGPL]
Language with interactive development environment, supports multiple views per object, bytecode VM; was user programming environment of EO communicator; description, PDF manuals. By Mark Lentczner.
