They're not really "inheritance". They can do what inheritance can do, and much much more.

- candiodari 8y agoIf that's your argument, then I'd say that C function pointers are absolute shit compared to LISP continuations. How would do I do this in C ? int some_function() { // some processing fp = package_the_rest_of_this_function_into_a_function_pointer() do_some_background_processing_and_callback(fp); // all the background processing is done } In LISP, this is easy, in fact, in most LISPs, it's builtin.
- Peaker 8y agoOf course that's true. But Lisp is shitty at controlling memory use, indirections, and manual MM.
- lomnakkus 8y agoWhich is why I said "more like". Can you give examples of this "much much more" you're referring to?
