It seems Julia has the answer: https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/10/the-unreasonable-effectiveness-of-the-julia-programming-language/ https://arstechnica.com

  I can't quite follow what the article is trying to describe because of the heavy use of analogies. A Google search makes it look like Julia has a mechanism where you can extent the sets of overloads of a function or method outside the original module. The terminology is different (functions have methods instead of overloads in their speak). I don't see how that feature solves the problem in practice.
