If you define a custom generic data type, for example if you need a special kind of tree for a particular algorithm, then you're going to be writing a lot of generic functions like cons for that data type.
- EdwardDiego 7y agoIn what language? I thought Haskell and OCaml for example, had generics.
- mrkeen 7y agoThe situation is a bit better than just generics (as they are in Java). For instance, if I had a List<Int>, I can treat it like a List<I>, but why can't I treat it like an <L>Int? Or an <L><I>?
