Object Oriented - move to leverage inheritance about shainet

[ArtLinkov]

@drujensen that's a great idea! Feel free to give it a go in a PR :)
If you don't have time for this, we will add it to our task list and do our best to get to it.

Ok, I will take a stab when I get a chance. In theory, someone could easily extend SHAInet by creating their own classes that inherit from the base to implement their own Learn/Cost/Activation functions.

@drujensen Lately @ArtLinkov has been working on cost function as Proc, do you feel this is enough in regard to dynamic needs?

[drujensen]

@bararchy right, I saw that and its a huge improvement. 💯

The thing is that procs is more a functional approach instead of an object oriented one. I took a couple attempts to refactor some of this to try and make it more OO but it is difficult to do it in smaller chunks and will require more changes than I think you would want.

I think procs works just fine so not sure this is worth the effort. If I have the time, I might make another attempt at it but its not on my priority list at the moment.

You can close this if you don't want the ticket hanging around.
