And while everything we've covered can be applied to any object-oriented language, it's worthwhile to take a look at some of the differences between the most common ones. One of the main differences between languages is their support for inheritance. Many languages only allow single class inheritance, meaning, a derived class can only inherit from one class. However, C++ and Python support multiple inheritance, where derived class inherits more than one base class, although Ruby doesn't support multiple inheritance, it does have a feature called mixins that allow you to combine objects, though some people see this as more of a form of composition.
