The ad-hoc use of unions to encode disjoint sum types in C programs and the inability of C’s type system to check the safe use of these unions is a long standing source of subtle...
Partial types for the -calculus were introduced by Thatte in 1988 [3] as a means of typing objects that are not typable with simple types, such as heterogeneous lists and persiste...

Abstract. We present a constraint system OF of feature trees that is appropriate to specify and implement type inference for first-class messages. OF extends traditional systems of...
JavaScript performance is often bound by its dynamically typed nature. Compilers do not have access to static type information, making generation of efficient, type-specialized m...
Method inheritance and data abstraction are central features of objectoriented programming that are attained through a hierarchical organization of classes. Recent studies have sh...
