FYI, in Java there's this old framework called GWT (Google Web Toolkit) which I use daily at my job. It provides a Java frontend solution which compiles Java to Javascript. (absolutely cursed)

At startup time, a subclass is created using cglib (Code Generation Library). It only calls super in the first invocation of the bean, then one instance is cached by the application context and the child class is the entry point.
