Just dabbling in some Objective-C and I found this statement quite intriguing:
self = [super init]
Is Objective-C’s self parameter like that of JavaScript’s protoype chain?
Thanks in advance.

No. Objective-C’s inheritence model is not prototype based, it has classes as blueprints for instances. Calls on self will not lead up any prototype chain.
Obj-C’s self correlates better with Java’s this.
