Discussion on: The Difference between TypeScript Interfaces and Types

[Demian Ferreiro]

Point 5, "Classes can implement interfaces, but not types", is not correct. IDK if it was the case on a previous version of TypeScript, but at least in the current one (4.8) the example with the createUser class works the same if you change the interface user to be type user instead:

type user = {
    name: string;
    age: number;
}

class createUser implements user {
  name = "John";
  age = 143;
}

thanks - this must be new since older versions don't allow for this - and I assumed it was still the case. I'll update the article
