I want to make a custom classes hierarchy, with encapsulation in mind (what
I am having troubles with in pure javascript), and inheritance.
Sorry, I did not know what AMD-ready means. So Dojo is AMD-ready, I think I
will go for it.

Thanks, but according to me, using normal Javascript in order to build an
OO system is very painfull an ugly. (I come from a Java background).

No, sorry. I want to make sources reachables by anyone : and I don't sure
that a compilation (nor minification, even though we haven't talk about it)
deserves this purpose.
