I'm so used to choosing between monomorphization and dynamic dispatch myself that I never thought of the possibility of a compiler being able to choose. Is the point to avoid monomorphization during dev to have faster compile times, and then enable monomorphization for release builds? That's a neat idea. That makes me wonder what Java does these days. I haven't used Java much since about v1.6. Java took a different approach than C++ and Rust. I remember when generics were introduced, they were basically syntactic sugar for type casts (for backwards compatibility). That implies that Java at the time didn't monomorphize generics. I think the language has evolved a lot since those days, so I wonder if it does any monomorphization today.
