Mixins losing type information of base class in TypeScript

TypeScriptAdvanced Classes & OOPMixin Classesadvanced

What this snippet does

If generic constraints are too loose, the mixin might not preserve the base class methods; proper constraints are required for full typing.

Expected output

Compile Error: Property 'baseMethod' does not exist on type 'Mixed'.

Why practise typing this

Typing advanced classes & oop code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation TypeScript uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
