You're designing a data processing pipeline in Go where you need to handle various types of data structures. How would you implement a mechanism to process each type differently without cluttering the code with multiple type checks?

In the scenario of designing a data processing pipeline in Go to handle various types of data structures without cluttering the code with multiple type checks, one effective approach is to use interface polymorphism. By defining interfaces that capture the common behaviors needed from different types of data structures, you can implement methods that operate on these interfaces. This allows you to process each type differently by providing different implementations for the methods, all while interacting with the data structures through a unified interface. Type switch can be used to handle different types, but it may lead to code clutter if there are many types to check. Reflection provides a way to inspect types at runtime but it's generally not recommended due to its complexity and performance overhead. Type assertion with comma-ok idiom is useful for determining the underlying type of an interface but it doesn't directly address processing each type differently.
