same interface for multiple componentsI think that if you switch to polylith, then at some point you will still need to implement runtime polymorphism. For example, for use several LLM or Storage implementations in same time or something like that. My solution for now is to create a thin (only interface) base component containing the protocol and calls to its methods. Implementations are moved to separate components in which only the creation function will be implemented. But I'm still looking for an even more obvious way of doing runtime polymorphism in polylith. Smth like this

(ns storage.interface)

(defprotocol Storage
  (get-value [this key])
  (set-value [this key value]))

(ns storage-pg.interface)

(defn create
  [config]
  (impl/create config))

Protocols are runtime polymorphism. Multi-implementation components are effectively "build-time" polymorphism. They're orthogonal.

Can you elaborate on your "curiosity"?

Ah, okay. That makes sense. I was curious because I just realized that I've looked at a bunch of examples and never saw anyone using protocols in their interfaces. I forget that the key is "build-time".

Thanks for the reminder!

I mean, we have protocols as part of some components, usually in a ns like ws.executors.interface.protocols but that's for multiple implementations at runtime, not at build time.
