- First off, you've called multiple inheritence "ugly" in java. Is this your
- comment on interfaces? I would argue that Java's means of dealing with
- multiple inheritenence by using interfaces is actually _cleaner_.
-
- And dynamic binding is bad? How can you put Java's dynamic binding on the
- same level as C++? Maybe it's just me, but I didn't even realize C++ had
- dynamic binding.
-
- That's just my opinion, though.
