Where inheritance is useful (Score:1)

by Alias (5735) on 2007.02.10 0:52 (#53177) Homepage Journal

In the few large systems I've implemented, the most obvious use for me of large-scale inheritance was a widget system. 90 classes, 30-50k LOC, and large scale inheritance.

But beyond that, I think inheritance is just another implementation method.

Pick the best one for the job.
