that is really, really ugly. using methods, I dont have to mess with function prefixes, and I dont have to pollute the global scope.

Again that's this language constraining you to that. With procedure overloading it's not required that you have to have that ugly API. For instance the following is valid Nim:

  type
    Cat = object # these are just 'struct' in a different skin
    Dog = object

  proc greet(c: Cat): string = "Meow"
  proc greet(d: Dog): string = "Bark"

  assert Dog().greet() == "Bark"
  assert Cat().greet() == "Meow"
