 Borsh stands for _Binary Object Representation Serializer for Hashing_. It is meant to be used in security-critical projects as it prioritizes consistency,
 safety, speed, and comes with a strict specification.

 ## Inheritance
-Schema generation with class inheritance is not supported (yet)
+Schema generation is supported if deserialization is deterministic
+e.g.
+```typescript 
+class A {

+    a: number 
+}
+
+@variant(0)
+class B1 extends A{
