I see. They say you can solve every problem with an other indirection, and ad hoc polymorphism is an instance of that. But there are other ways to enable composition that are seldom reached for when your language makes that easy
- ncmncm 5y agoEvery problem, except those caused by too many indirections. Each solution uses only a few language features. Different problems call for different subsets. Not using a feature on your favorite sort of problem says nothing about its value. "Ways to enable composition" poorly supported are reached for less. Poorly supporting one of them that has proven frequently useful does not improve a language.
