It also looks familiar to multi dispatch in Raku, formerly Perl 6.

See for example https://docs.raku.org/language/functions#Multi-dispatch

Not just a prominent perl hacker, but one who's been working on a major new OO system for the language.

Yea, I know right, Before I had a joke about Perl like this: Perl is like nineties music, it’s simply the best of all times. :) But a few days ago I made a new one up: Perl is a shrodingers programming language. :D

You called that a joke, but I think it's just the truth.
