What did you use it for? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] tatterdemalion@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago (5 children) Some legacy Python code that already used inheritance. I had to extend it, and it was pretty infeasible to refactor the whole thing to not use inheritance. Not sure if I technically regretted that decision, but it was definitely painful, since Python inheritance makes it really hard to follow program control flow. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 8 months ago (4 children) Non typed inheritance, what could go wrong eh. You can just 'add' a function to a class dynamically in python, that is so bad. Done any C++ classes & inheritance? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] tatterdemalion@programming.dev 1 point 8 months ago (3 children) It was actually typed. Python had type annotations at the time. I only wrote C++ very early in my career so I don't remember much, but I'm sure I at least tried some inheritance in toy games I would write. All of that code was trash though by my standards today. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 8 months ago (2 children) Still does, but you don't have to.
