Multiple inheritance. :sigh:

Oh please no! Multiple inheritance opens such a large bag of pain. Interfaces give you that [to some degree] and I don't want any more.

You don't have to use it if you don't like it. But .05% of the time it could come in handy. And I want it!

Just a theory, but I would guess that then 99.99999999% of those times you would impliment and two months later say to yourself "ohhhhhh thats why that is not .Net compliant" ;) Just saying, it seems like it would be good up front (I thought the same when I realized I couldn't). But there is actually logical reasoning for it. Kind of like why things are base 0 index.

I want a 24-hour live video link to Salma Hayek, but I can't have it.

I'd be really happy if I just get an inheritance from Bill G or Steve J :rolleyes:

OCaml - because it does not have nulls.

SQL. Because it's the best way to access and manipulate the data I need to access and mess with, and I can use it via a number of other (general-purpose) programming languages (C#, VB.net, C, etc.) as appropriate.

You forgot about Bacon. Lots and lots of Bacon. [Edit] Who in their right mind would 1 vote a Bacon post???? Good god for the love of bacon!?!?

I'm on-line therefore I am. JimmyRopesI agree - which is why I see it's use and even necessity for Linq. But other than that, it is a sign of laziness, and of "I don't care what this is and I can't be bothered to work it out". Given Intellisense is pretty good, most of the time I have to type no more characters to get the actual type I am going to use than to get
var. So which is easier to maintain? Strongly (but anonymously) typed variables, or the actual class name?Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Manfred R. Bihy: "Looks as if OP is learning resistant."

I see both points of view, but
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand();
Seems a bit redundant. I prefer "var" there (especially for generic types). Most other times I use the type - it helps keep code readable. Maybe you should be arguing for coding standards where you work that codify these things (always a shame you need to tell people). Better still, stop employing sloppy programmers.

I call you out there - C++'s implementation offers a whole bag of pain, but try it in SELF and you'll see that its an incredibly powerful technique. The main problem is that in statically typed languages, inheritance is often confused with typing. Dynamically typed languages don't have this problem, so you can freely mixin behaviour. I'd like to see a type-safe language with something more like duck-typing - allowing non-related classes to be polymorphic if they have the same interface (not a Java/COM-style interface, but real interface). i.e. two objects are polymorphic on the set of common methods they have, regardless of their relationship through inheritance. C#'s extension methods attempt to fill the same gap - adding features to existing classes (and interfaces), but do so only by compromising OO - these are all static methods, can't be overridden, etc.

SQL. Because it's the best way to access and manipulate the data I need to access and mess with, and I can use it via a number of other (general-purpose) programming languages (C#, VB.net, C, etc.) as appropriate.
Really, I've always thought SQL was a hardship we have to endure. To whit... 1. Dates. WTF?!!?? No real standard support for dates. 2. Joins. WTF is that fugly syntax. 3. Aggregattion and grouping. WTF. 4. Use of DISTINCT (it should be implicit in every query) There's plenty more, but it always struck me as a butt-ugly language, poorly designed for the task in hand. I mean honestly, a language for accessing relational databases that fails to be even relational: SQL Criticism[^]
