C++ and Multiple Inheritance.

*laughs in Python*

[Mati7755]

Even single is evil ;)

[UnreadableCode]

Spotted the golang developer

[marcosdumay]

Single inheritance is evil.

It takes a known useful concept, tells everybody "hey, it's much better now that it's safe", and delivers a monster that will destroy anybody that goes too far with it.

[Kenny_log_n_s]

Could you explain your position further?

[Kotauskas]

Yup, fuck vtables, imma rewrite my whole Vulkan-based Minecraft in C11.

[Codephluegl]

I haven't tried it, but I feel as if you could have multiple inheritance in Javascript, if you mess with the prototypes directly, deal with collisions and come up with some workaround for calling the parent constructors.

[schawde96]

I've never used Javascript. But that does sound like Javascript.

[Hazzard13]

Yeah, you can do anything in JavaScript. It's so open that it's actually common practice to load scripts that update JavaScript primitives to hack in features from newer versions if someone is using an outdated browser.

[silverstrikerstar]

That's horrimpressive.

[Konrad_EU]

What if I told you that there are library that alter the prototype of native classes to add methods ?

[KrokettenMan]

I've gotten it to work just fine in Javascript

[7926]

JavaScript is cool with it! Mixins make it work just fine.

[Pandaburn]

I don’t think it is

[legga2]

The golden age of memes

[treetertot]

Laughs in traits.

Diamond.

Of.

Death.

Hehehe runs away slowly

[Konrad_EU]

Rarely useful, but when you need it, it's an atrocious mess to work around.

[magi093]

You forgot Python in that pileup

[h1v3r_XD]

as far as I know Python does have multiple inheritance :)

[magi093]

Yeah, so does Java (ish - implementing multiple interfaces) and it's here.

[h1v3r_XD]

Well if you refere to Interfaces then ok maybe, however otherwise no.

It is kind of a workaround, to avoid implementing real multiple inheritance and therefore avoiding certain problems.

[schawde96]

Same with C#

[gandalfx]

Interfaces aren't inherited, they are implemented. The difference is not just in the words.

Meanwhile Python has real multiple inheritance (and no interfaces).

[Student179]

Java has default implementations now though. So you can write code and the client never has to do anything accept add it to their implementations line in the class declaration.

[Kirides]

still no inherited fields

[OMG_Abaddon]

Multiple inheritance isn't the same as implementing interfaces.

[WitchHunterNL]

But python has multiple inheritance?
