There does seem to be a method/interface system (Under the "Methods, Protocols, Implementations" header). And it seems to have some sort of dispatch system for tagged structures that can be later modified by the user.

Exactly! This is what the @method / @impl system is for - it's about equivalent to clojure's defprotocol. Future plans include named protocols consisting of multiple methods, and protocol-based matching.
