ABSTRACT
Datatype generic programming enables programmers to define functions by induction over the structure of types on which these functions operate. This paper presents a library for datatype generic programming in F#, built on top of the .NET reflection mechanism.The generic functions defined using this library can be called by any other language running on the .NET platform.

Arity-generic datatype-generic programming
PLPV '10: Proceedings of the 4th ACM SIGPLAN workshop on Programming languages meets program verificationSome programs are doubly-generic. For example, map is datatype-generic in that many different data structures support a mapping operation. A generic programming language like Generic Haskell can use a single definition to generate map for each type. ...
The early history of F#
This paper describes the genesis and early history of the F# programming language. I start with the origins of strongly-typed functional programming (FP) in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. During the same period, Microsoft was founded and grew to dominate the ...
