I’m sympathetic to parts of the Go design philosophy, but the only thing that comes to mind looking at this is “damn, that’s some awkward (nominal-looking) syntax for (structural) intersection types”.

(It also feels to me that this sort of anonymous embedding is materially different for interfaces vs structs, though I admit that from a type-theoretic perspective it’s not.)

You can’t have ambiguous methods so the problem illustrated here fails at compile time for interfaces.
