I had the same experience. I’m a few years into using rust now - which doesn’t implement inheritance at all and I don’t miss it. In typescript I barely use classes at all. I prefer an interface paired with a constructor function. I think it’s almost always better to first think of data as a struct, with associated code that acts on that struct. As the old saying goes, show me your data structures and not your code, and you don’t need to show me your code.

Rust implements interface inheritance out of the box via traits, but you can also replicate something very much like implementation inheritance via phantom types/the typestate pattern. It just finds very little use in general, because it's readily apparent just how clunky that whole arrangement is.
