Re: [Vala] Final / Sealed classes in Vala

Hello, Something I don't get here... The whole point of subclassing, is to make something old, do something new. Yes. Isn't that like calling any developer that might be looking at extending your class, an idiot? I'd have thought making sure virtuals aren't miss-overridden, is the

Re: [Vala] Extension Methods
