I agree this style of composition is not currently possible in Go, but I do not agree that it is necessarily a good (in the engineering sense) solution to the requirement(s) it solves. There are lots of other ways to communicate between dynamically dispatched blocks of code, and dynamic code loading is by any account fragile.

Or, to put it another way,

I'm not convinced this restriction is anything but good.
