I agree. 95% of the time, single inheritance is perfect, but 5% of the time, there is no better way than multiple inheritance (at least not without re-inventing major parts of the wheel.) Lets concentrate on the low level driver for now, we can debate internal language later. Besides, if we end up doing the language as a plugin, we can always support different language models, as long as the bytecode is the same.
