Dynamics in ML

Xavier Leroy, Michel Mauny · Journal of Functional Programming · 1993

Abstract Objects with dynamic types allow the integration of operations that essentially require runtime type-checking into statically-typed languages. This paper presents two extensions of the ML language with dynamics, based on our work on the CAML implementation of ML, and discusses their usefulness. The main novelty of this work is the combination of dynamics with polymorphism.
