Can you share where you've seen inheritance get dropped and it resulted in fewer complaints about OOP?

- bonesss 11mo agoOOP without inheritance is exactly what VB6 had… now its cool again, I guess.
- avadodin 11mo agoAlways has been.
- Jtsummers 11mo agoAnecdotally, yes. In work efforts where inheritance was kept to a minimum (shallow, more sensible, class structures) there were far fewer issues with both complaints and problems caused by it. Outside that, look to Go. Some people will waste a few pages and hours of their life arguing about whether it is or isn't OO, but it provides everything other OO languages provide except for inheritance (struct embedding kinda-sorta looks like inheritance, but it's composition and some syntax sugar to avoid `deeply.nested.references()`). It provides for polymorphism, encapsulation, and information hiding. The complaints about Go are never (or rarely) about its OO system.
