>Why doesn't Java support multiple inheritance?

1. It has interfaces which gives much of the ability at lighter
weight..

2. Java originally was intended for set top boxes. That is too
heavyweight a feature.

3. Study Eiffel. implementing it is quite tricky, especially when you
get name  clashes.

you might see it in Java 11 or so, or whatever language inherits the
Java mantle.
