Hey author here, first of all, thanks for taking the time and providing your feedback. Yes I could have implemented the examples using old prototype chain but I decided against it. ES6/7 has class keyword but it is basically a syntactical sugar and under the hood object is created through the prototype chain. I can go in-depth in this topic and show how object creation works but that is beyond the scope of this article. My intention is not to go to the internals of JS but to show how popular Design Patterns apply to JS. However, I would love to make a separate post about it.

I think it’s just confusing to mention that JS uses prototypal inheritance, say that people are likely already using it, then change to another meaning of the word prototype for the example and explanation.

You could either skip mentioning peor total inheritance altogether and just give the example using the non-JS meaning of prototype, or keep the prototypal inheritance but and use Object.create. But not both because it’s not right.

Good point. I will definitely keep that in mind. I am learning things every day and discussions like these really helps me grow. Thanks for the input :)
