Not if you use languages with built-in metaprogramming capabilities that are expressive enough to generate scheme-specific code at compile-time (e.g. Scheme, Scala, D, Rust, Nimrod etc) I'm personally a huge fun of typeclasses as implicits + macro materializers in Scala: http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/macros/implicits.html http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/macros/implicits.html
