I can't really get over Gleam's position that nobody really needs type-based polymorphism, real programmers write their own vtables by hand.

(It also needs some kind of reflection-like thing, either compile-time or runtime, so that there can be an equivalent of Rust's Serde, but at least they admit that that needs doing.)
