Hi everyone,

I've been playing with traits in various languages recently and I'd love
to talk about this subject at a future meetup if you're interested.

I've added a topic
<http://berlin.onruby.de/topics/better-composition-with-traits> to
berlin.onruby.de, but here's the description anyway:
/
/

/This talk will explain the concept of traits, specifically the
model described in the 2006 paper Traits: A Mechanism for
Fine-grained Reuse by Ducasse et al. /

//

/We will take a look at differing trait implementations in some
other languages, which specific everyday design problems traits
solve and how they differ from Ruby modules as a method for code reuse./

//

/Finally we will explore how some features introduced in Ruby 2
allow us to implement Ducasse's traits in Ruby and how to compose a
class without touching the class hierarchy at all./


Cheers,

Joe
