If you have every used any modern IDE like VSCode, you may be familiar with “Intellisense”. “Intellisense” is essentially a fancy tool that allows us to see what methods are available to us on an object.
Because of prototypal inheritance, we get access to all of the awesome methods even though they are not coded by us and not even within the actual object. All of the methods are passed down to us by inheritance.
Coming from a C#/Java, you may be screaming at your computer screen right now “Why prototypal and not just classic inheritance?! This is so annoying”. Well you might be right, but prototypal is actual considered a more advanced, robust form of inheritance compared to classic and learning it will help in your understanding of both!
