The Inheritance Curse

on YouTube ↗04m

" summary

Claims that Objective C inheritance via NSObject enforces coupling and Swift offers ways to cut it by marking classes final keyword and preferring value types or composition. Warns that using UIKit forces subclassing for views and controllers so sometimes inheritance is unavoidable. Concrete tools include the final modifier, structs, protocols and composition. Outcome is that these tactics stop propagation of deep subclass chains and reduce runtime coupling and surprising global behaviors.
