Despite being more than two decades old, this paper is extremely relevant to the modern Ruby programmer.

Sakkinen's central point seems to be that most traditional uses of inheritance lead to poor encapsulation, bloated object contracts, and accidental namespace collisions. He provides two patterns for disciplined inheritance and suggests that by normalizing the way that we model things, we can apply these two patterns to a very wide range of scenarios. He goes on to show that code that conforms to these design rules can easily be modeled as ordinary object composition, exposing a solid alternative to tradi
