| Abstract: |
Object-oriented programming (OOP) languages allow for the creation of rich new types through, for example, the class mechanism found in C++ and Python (among others).These techniques, while certainly rich in the functionality they provide, additionally require users to develop and test new types; while resulting software can be elegant and easy to understand (and indeed these were some of the aspirations behind the OOP paradigm), there is a cost associated to the addition of the new code required to implement such new types. Such a cost will typically be at least linear in the number of new types introduced.One potential alternative to the creation of new types through extension is the creation of new types through restriction; in appropriate circumstances, such types can provide the same elegance and ease of understanding, but without a corresponding linear development and maintenance cost. |
