Nice writeup! ⭐

The prototypal inheritance model reminds me of the linked list data structure, where the prototype chain is like the links in a linked list. Actually, the scope chain seems to work similarly in JavaScript.

Maybe linked lists were one of Brendan Eich's favorite data structures 🤔

Thanks [Dave VanderWeele](https://hashnode.com/@dvanderweele). I really like your view of Linked list and inheritance 🙂
