Re: Penlight - Calling the constructor of a parent class

[Luciano de Souza <luchyanus@...>]

With "self:super(title", in fact, I can call the constructor of the 
parent class. At the point of view of the usage of OOP, it's very nice. 
But, at the  point of view of performance, if I understood what you 
said, it's not suitable.
I have a more efficient way to call the constructor resulting in better 
performance? In other words, with Penlight, Classlib, Loop, LOS and 
other OOP implementations have I always  performance issues to consider? 
I'd like to use a library becouse my knowledge about metatables and 
metamethods does not allow me to handle it directly.
Have I interpreted correctly what you say? If the performance is only a 
little bit less efficient, regarding the wonderful features of Penlight, 
I prefer to continue using.
