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.

    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?

    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.

    Still does, but you don't have to.

    So you haven't had much experience with oop?
