Advanced Topics in Programming Languages Series: Parametric Polymorphism and the Girard-Reynolds Isomorphism. This talk is based on a series of papers by Philip Wadler, a principal designer of the Haskell programming language. Featured are a number of double-barreled names in computer science:

  • Hindley-Milner (Strong typing without having to type the types)
  • Wadler-Blott (Making ad-hoc polymorphism less ad-hoc with parametricity)
  • Curry-Howard (Isomorphism between types and theorems, terms and proofs)
  • Girard-Reynolds (Isomorphism between types and terms in the presence of parametricity)
