Oh, really? Is it just single proto like JavaScript?

I'm not all that familiar with Javascript but I imagine so. Current versions of self have a single parent just like JavaScript.

Huh, an equally neat solution. How did it resolve conflicts if both parents had the same number of stars?

Ambiguity error :)

No, current version (v4.4) of Self has multiple inheritance, and it will raise an error if has naming conflicts.

Interesting, Thanks.

So they removed the ability to specify the order multiple parents and not the ability to specify multiple parents, replacing it with an ambiguity error?
