I think the code is way too verbose. One supposed advantage of FP languages is that they are more concise. If I have to build a ton of boilerplate I might just as well go to some OOP pattern with interfaces and so on.
True. I just think it's a mistake to force a pattern into a language that doesn't support it well. In the end you get sort of pattern matching but you have also to write a lot of code.

Remember that the point of the article is not what language does it best, but rather how to use typescript to add patterns from other languages.
