Inheritance is merely a hack…

Favorite quote of the day:

In a strongly typed language, such as C++, inheritance is crucial. In an untyped language, such as Objective-C, inheritance is merely a hack that saves the developer some typing.

- Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X (3rd Edition) by Aaron Hillegass, page 46.
