- Regarding the last sentence, I suggest you be consistent and give up OOP
- altogether. Or do you really think there is a middle ground? If you do,
- good luck defending it or even articulating it?
-
- You understood me right -- I do not believe in OOP, and I won't defend
- it. However, there is a middle ground, which is called `subtyping'.
-
- BTW, how would you feel about dynamic multiple inheritance?
-
- I feel nothing about it, because I don't know what it is supposed to
- be. And I don't even want to know.
