[Haskell-cafe] Generics Versus Parametric Polymorphism

[Mark Spezzano]

Hi,

 

Just wondering if Generics and Parametric polymorphism are one and the same
in Haskell.

 

I read (somewhere!) an article stating that generics might be included in
Haskell Prime but I thought that they’re already included as parametric
polymorphism.

 

Did I misread something? Or is generics in Haskell referring to something
completely different.

 

Cheers,

 

Mark Spezzano
