Typescript inheritance deep dive

Typescript and JavaScript are both awesome languages.Due to backwards compatibility we generally transpile our code to Javascript. But a lot of Typescript constructs do not exist in ES5. Inheritance for example is one of them.

So how does this work then? Typescript uses syntactic sugar to β€œmimic” the class and inheritance behaviour. It creates kind of an illusion of those concepts. If you want to know what I mean by that then checkout my article on Typescript inheritance deep dive
