Which JavaScript Library Has the Most Comprehensive Class Inheritance Support?

After playing with a dozen different JavaScript Libraries such as Prototype, jQuery, YUI, just to name a few, I found every different library has a different way of simulating some sort of Class Hierarchy and provide some sort of Class Inheritance support. (Other than jQuery) Other than being very annoyed that when you create a new class, it has to be library dependent, unless you do the plain old way.

I'm wondering which library offers the best support for class inheritance in general and why.

I hope maybe one day JavaScript Library authors can agree on one style for Class creation and inheritance.

I found out there is a Javascript Framework modeled after Ruby:

Js.Class

Another good one is:

Joose-js (modeled after moose (perl) )

I prefer Josse, because it seems to be more actively developed, and the syntax looks neat too!

Any thoughts??? (Maybe this should be another question??)
