All right, but what is then the solution to encapsulate things? A 
type switch breaks encapsulation: If you change some inner works 
of component A you might have to extend the type switch in 
Component B. I understand the argument that dynamic binding is a 
high price to achieve this, but a type switch as in Go that 
simply breaks encapsulation is not very convincing.

Do you have some affiliation with the ETHZ? Oberon didn't spread 
much outside of it. I played with Oberon many years ago and I 
also recognized similarities of it in Go. Just read about it 
again to recap and it was striking to see how much the Oberon 
WITH statement resembles a Go type switch. I guess Niklaus Wirth 
would like Go ...
