The lack of inheritance is my favorite feature in a programming language

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 7 points 23 hours ago

I actually agree. This is my sneaky attempt at educating people about impl Deref. Although, I am still not sure how to feel about it, since I do actually see quite some similarities with inheritance...

@Ephera that feels wrong, somehow ...

You can have the thing you are dereferencing to be a trait, so you can change your "base class" at runtime.

At least, you can't have multiple inheritance with impl Deref (I hope / as far as I can see)
