And languages like Java forcing you to learn bad code practices, right from
the beginning, when you to make a subclass of something have to write
'extends',
that completely misleads you:
class Subclass extends Base { ...
because subclassing is not synonym of extending , it is a synonym of
inheriting. You cannot 'extend' the behavior of parent class in your
subclass, in fact, each time you make subclass, you are specializing more
and more and hence, you actually narrowing down the potential uses of your
instances.. How does that 'extending' complies with narrowing??
