We present a general technique for extending Java-like languages with dynamic overloading, where method selection depends on the dynamic type of the parameter, instead of just the ...
Two object-oriented programming language paradigms— dynamic, prototype-based languages and multi-method languages— provide orthogonal benefits to software engineers. These two...
Type dispatch constructs are an important feature of many programming languages. Scheme has predicates for testing the runtime type of a value. Java has a class cast expression an...
: Implementing binary methods in traditional object-oriented languages is difficult: numerous problems arise regarding the relationship between types and classes in the context of ...
