I've noticed that implementing polymorphic recursive types in languages that perform code monomorphization (for e.g: C++, Rust, etc.) is very difficult, if not impossible. This is usually because t...

I've been reading some articles on change detection, and all of them say that monomorphic functions are much faster than polymorphic. For example, here is a quote: (..)The reason for that is, th...

In one of the projects I've worked on, the subject of isomorphism versus monomorphism came up. A little background: I'm no expert on graph theory and have no formal training in it. But this topic ...

I am asking this question with refernce to this SO question. Accepted answer by Don stewart : First line says "Your code is highly polymorphic change all float vars to Double .." and it gives 4X pe...

module MapHelpers (Ord : Map.OrderedType) = struct include Map.Make (Ord) let add_all a b = fold add a b end works but the seemingly equivalent module MapHelpers (Ord : Map.OrderedType) = stru...
