Some Challenging Typing Issues in Object-Oriented Languages
Kim B. Bruce · Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science · 2003
In this paper we discuss some of the remaining problems in the design of static type systems for object-oriented programming languages. We look at typing problems involved in writing a simple interpreter as a good example of a simple problem leading to difficult typing issues. The difficulties encountered seem to arise in situations where a programmer desires to simultaneously refine mutually interdependent classes and object types.
