Generics, no? Philip Wadler, one of the designers of Haskell, was involved with the introduction of generics to Java.
- chrisseaton 6y agoThe original paper on Java generics as we know them today only mentions Haskell twice, both times in passing. Once in reference to something that they didn't do (algebraic types), and once in reference to that both Haskell and their work were being inspired by an earlier common idea (System F) from the early 1970s.
- waltpad 6y agoI don't think these technologies are related: Java Generics is based on subtyping, however Haskell doesn't support subtyping (afaik).
