p.s. my bad, I was wrong about that! Turns out you can do
something like this in Julia (apologies for the Julia code in a D
forum):
abstract type Animal end
struct Dog <: Animal end
struct Cat <: Animal end
x = Array{Animal}(3)
x[1] = Cat(); x[2] = Dog(); x[3] = Cat();
x # returns
3-element Array{Animal,1}:
Cat()
Dog()
Cat()
Which is polymorphism
