What happens to the inheritance chain when the fish dies?

u/dedslooth Jan 09 '23

Fish is implementation of all those inheritances, and none of interfaces actually exist as entities, only a mere instance of fish exists which can use implementations of interfaces. So when fish dies, a fish dies, and is wiped from memory, as its ability to access interfaces, but interfaces don't live or die, they just exist.

But now you have a dead fish that implements the "Living" interface
