Is this a "collection of functions" or "collection of function declarations"? If you want to communicate concepts this is not the best example. And for either case many languages already have the solutions.

Technically, a Polylith interface is a collection of "pass-through" functions, each of which delegate their function call to an "implementation" function within the component.

I agree with you that many languages have syntax to support building interfaces. However, I've yet to come across one that offers all the benefits of Polylith's approach with components.
