Inheritance Implementation Strategies
So how to implement the big three via concatenation inheritance?
For simplicity, let's assume a sequential search of the environment table when trying to resolve a variable.
Will use Sway syntax from here on out.
The quintessential class/constructor:
function node(item,next) { this; }
Making nodes:
var items = node(1,node(2,node(3,:null)));
Or shorthand:
var # = node; var items = right(1 # 2 # 3 # :null);
Using nodes:
while (items != :null) { inspect(items . item); items = items . next; }
The function right can be written in Sway using reflection.
