Well, as I said before, I think being able to inherit from multiple (fully) abstract base classes is useful. I have never found a good use for inheriting from multiple non-abstract base classes. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

Anyway, language design is an endless process. It really comes down to who what languages are most successful in the marketplace, and in the open source world. My philosophy is to use the right tool for the job.
