Previously you mentioned 3 ways to implement what you call traits.
- First one was exactly what mixins are now in laszlo.
- Second one was a way to emulate partially the functionality of mixins
without actually using mixins.
- Third option I could not understand.
Then you go on to say that unless you read the documentation of a mixin
you use you don't know what it will do.
But this applies to classes, too.
So should we do away with classes, too?
In fact I am not aware of any type of component that you can safely use
without knowing anything about it.
Summa summarum: I would like to hear what exactly you feel is wrong with
mixins.
