Inheritance in Revolution?

[Dan Shafer]

At the end of the day, speaking as an old Smalltalker who thinks 
objects rule, I've just had give up on the OO dream when  using Rev. As 
you've learned, it's not implemented and although there are some worthy 
work-alikes, they're not really satisfactory to an OO thinker.

There has been a lot of back-channel talk about either creating an OO 
version of Transcript or forking a new IDE/Language combo for OO folks 
but my guess is that's a pretty distant dream at this point.
