- It's now been two weeks since I asked people who had actually used
- multiple inheritance on a non-toy-sized project to respond. The only
- mail I got was from someone else who suspected as I did that MI
- is a trendy, academic, dangerous solution vainly in search of a problem,
- and certainly not a requirement for working engineers using any future
- version of Ada.
-
- Having just stated the issue as belligerently as I know how, I now ask
- people who think MI is a Good Thing, and who have experience to back
- up that judgement, to come forward. Come on, one last time, or let's
- consider MI a plaything, not worthy of the attention of serious people.
