Java does not permit multiple implementation inheritance, but the problem is not gone. We solve the issue using a bunch of interfaces and classes. Thankfully there are some alternatives, in Java, Scala, and Groovy.
In this presentation we will first learn about the problem, the solution in old Java, then we take up some possible solution in Java 8 and explore the options available in Scala and Groovy.
