Abstract
Dynamic dispatch for classes and interfaces is encapsulated in a class-less scripting language. A plurality of mechanisms is employed to facilitate dynamic polymorphism. One or more target-language constructs, such as dictionary objects, prototype objects and/or derived types, are utilized to capture class and interface-method implementations. These constructs are subsequently referenced at runtime to invoke appropriate code.
