Geek asks and answers

Is there any fundamental reason Julia doesn't support abstract multiple inheritance?

For example, I want to do something on these lines:

abstract Tree
abstract SupervisedModel
type DecisionTree <: Tree, SupervisedModel

This is currently not possible in Julia. Is this due to any fundamental reasons or just not yet implemented?

This issue is currently under discussion. It seems that the implementation is complex and leads to many edge cases, but there are no fundamental reasons why this cannot be a language feature: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/5
