I think they solved the problem by not supporting multiple inheritance, instead supporting interfaces and/or traits. But also "composition over inheritance" pretty much won, thankfully imho.

CLOS and Ocaml figured it out


When in doubt look to CLOS.


Mixins via inheritance is a sweet pattern that I miss in C# sometimes.


C# has default interface implementations now, that can be used to create mixins...

Yeah I sometimes use them but they don’t cover all the cases. I’m waiting for roles/extensions to see if I can achieve a similar result.
