Differences between inheritance in Python and composition in Go

Key Points about Inheritance in Python:

• Establishes an "is-a" relationship. For example, a Dog is an Animal.
• Encourages reuse of code but can lead to tightly coupled code and complex hierarchies.
• Supports polymorphism, where a subclass can be used wherever its superclass is expected.
• Enables code reuse and establishes a hierarchical relationship between classes.

Key Points about Composition in Go:

• Encourages a "has-a" relationship. For example, a Dog has an Animal (behavior).
• Promotes loose coupling and flexible code structure.
• Composition is often preferred in Go for its simplicity and the ability to easily mix and match behaviors.
• Go supports embedding, where methods of the embedded type are promoted to the embedding type, allowing behavior similar to inheritance without the tight coupling.
