Interface-Scoped Dispatch: General Delegation with O(1) Self-Calls

The conceptual appeal of object composition lies in its ability to build loosely coupled systems from independent runtime components. Yet conventional object composition lacks late-bound self-calls, or open recursion, a defining strength of implementation inheritance. Restoring o...

Interface-Scoped Dispatch: General Delegation with O(1) Self-Calls

The conceptual appeal of object composition is its ability to build loosely coupled systems from independent runtime components. Yet conventional languages prevent composition from fully realizing this potential, due to the absence of late-bound self-calls (open recursion), a def...
