Abstract. Type classes in Haskell allow programmers to define functions that can be used on a set of different types, with a potentially different implementation in each case. For ...
abstractions, such as closures, tuples, and user-defined abstract data types. The type system ensures that well-typed programs cannot violate these abstractions. In addition, the ...

We show how hypertext-based program understanding tools eve new levels of abstraction by using inferred type information for cases where the subject software system is written in ...
Abstract. Generic programming enables the programmer to define functions by induction on the structure of types. Defined once, such a generic function can be used to generate a s...
Class sharing is a new language mechanism for building extensible software systems. Recent work has separately explored two different kinds of extensibility: first, family inherit...
