🧬 Inheritance in Java vs Composition in Go

Java uses classical inheritance (extends) to share behavior. Go favors composition, embedding one struct inside another to reuse functionality.

🧠 Concept Comparison

Feature Java (extends) Go (composition)
Inheritance method class Mage extends Character type Mage struct { Character }
Method override @Override annotation Redefine method on outer struct
Multiple inheritance ❌ Not allowed ✅ Via multiple embeddings

🔍 Key Insight

Go avoids deep inheritance trees and tight coupling. Instead, it promotes flexible design with composition, a cleaner, more scalable alternative.
