Re: Alternatives languages on the JVM: which one or is there no alternative?

Show key headers only | View raw

No language that is to run on the JVM can overcome its fundamental
shortcoming of missing multiple implementation inheritance. While
this might not be a problem with everyday code, is _is_ a problem
if you are in low-level or framework stuff, for example if you have
class hierarchies where you want to offer mixed reference flavors -
your class C either ends up with two fields, one T and one to some
(X extends WeakReference<T>) which contains another extra field for
the back reference to the containing C so that the C can be notified
of the X having been garbage collected and an extra two-word object
header, or with lots of duplicated code.
