You have probably made some bad decisions lately if you find yourself in one of these conversations. T-Rex: But it's not too late! T-Rex: All you need to know about these conversations is that nobody is right and nobody is ever going to change their mind ever ever, okay? Here's all you need to say: "Ah, yes, that language is good for domain-specific solutions, but it doesn't adequately address the issue of multiple inheritance out of the box."

Utahraptor: THAT'S...!! Utahraptor: That's not even English; I'm out of here. T-Rex: And THAT, cats and kittens, is how you win a conversation about programming languages.
