63 ;;Quote: in object-oriented programming, multiple inheritance is very useful; if not provided, it is approximated
65 ;;Quote: a weakly-typed language such as Flavors allows an intuitive class structure
65+;;Quote: with a weakly-typed language, inconsistencies are not caught until run-time
65 ;;Quote: a strongly-typed language such as C++ distorts the original, intuitive class structure
66 ;;Quote: type inheritance describes common features while strong typing erects fire walls between types
66+;;Quote: programs written in weakly-typed, object-oriented languages must be redesigned for strongly-type languages
66 ;;Quote: drawback of garbage-collection is that its overhead appears only during long runs
67 ;;Quote: strong typing requires more work but catches more bugs early; makes programs more useful
