The real reason Jon Blow proposed this syntax is because it allows you keep
continuous arrays of memory which you can index into using struts. The fact it
mimics multiple inheritance (something Pascal doesn’t have anyways) is just a
bonus.
His premise for the proposal is that programming languages should help the
programmer to make code which is better read by the CPU instead of high-level
constructs for abstract concepts. It’s very specific to a particular task but
very important for low-languages like c++ and Pascal which are close to the CPU.
