Hi,

 

Is there going to be full support for inheritance (tables) in future ?

 

Are there going to be any improvements about inheritance ?

It all depends on whether anyone with the relevant interest and skills
steps forward to develop improvements. At present it seems low on the
list of priorities for the core developers. (I'm speaking purely as an
outsider here - I'm just another user).

However, if those who use/need inheritence can organise themselves and
come up with constructive proposals/implementations then I don't believe
anyone has anything against inheritence. As with any community project
you need a certain amount of activity to get change.
