no it's not, because a key part of OO is encapsulation. You really do need a functional language with naked, fully introspectable types everywhere, for this to work effectively.

I tried it in Dart and it worked, so it's possible.

But maybe I don't understand your point, if so, tell me what exactly would be impossible to implement in a language like Swift, Dart, Kotlin.

yes, you can add an inspect method to every object, but you'll also have to add an inspect method to every object. That's the problem.
