Welcome to IWETHEY!

New What's that?
C, then? Function pointers. Oh dear. Java? Strategy pattern can be used to emulate it.

I don't know what a strategy pattern is - what does this mean? What's a "strategy pattern"? I would prefer not to guess.

In C function pointers provided a form of overloading - I'm sure cfront must have exploited this in the early days.

Even FORTRAN had this, in the form of multiple entry points.

I don't mean by that that it gets worse, well I do, but I don't mean it that way. Unless you thought I meant the opposite of what I meant, in which case vice versa (or verce visa if you prefer).
