ponder
(foldoc) | Ponder
A non-strict polymorphic, functional language by Jon
Fairbairn .
Ponder's type system is unusual. It is more powerful than the
Hindley-Milner type system used by ML and Miranda and
extended by Haskell. Ponder adds extra recursive 'mu' types
to those of Girard's System F, allowing more general
recursion. Surprisingly, the type system and {type
inference} algorithm are still not completely understood.
