“Dynamic overloading” in other languages (not C++)

In a previous post I've imagined that future C++ could dynamically dispatch a call to a proper function/method according to the derived types of its arguments — that is, dynamic overloading, whereas notoriously in C++ overloading is a compile time feature.

Now the question is: what about other languages?

Dynamic overloading

I have always stated that I dislike C++. “Modern C++” (from C++11 on) changed a lot, but the language still has plenty of dark corners. And limits when you would like to achieve easily some goals, but the language reminds you it doesn't work that way, so things can become more complicated than you would like to think.
