I don't want to imagine something like gson or sun.tools.tree without inheritance. That would be a disaster.

Composition? AssignShiftLeftExpression has-a AssignOpExpression which has-a BinaryAssignExpression which has-a BinaryExpression which has-a UnaryExpression which has-a Expression which has-a Node?

    return this.assignOpExpression.binaryAssignExpression.binaryExpression.unaryExpression.expression.node.op;

    return this.op

Heh, it's a manner of speaking. As in "the solution is to use sum types". Obviously i can't make you want that.
