Workaround for traditional inheritance features in object-oriented languages

Real-world problems aren’t well-suited for inheritance-based OOP either, which is why you’re generally told/taught to not use inheritance in OOP, except in your first undergrad class where you learn about OOP and program design.

Thanks. I’ll have a look when I get a chance. But to be clear, I did not ask for OOP features. If I wanted to write inheritance-based OOP I’d just pick up Python or Ruby rather than fight with Julia. I use Julia for numerical stuff like data analysis. I use Julia for problems that Julia is meant to solve and solves well.
