Talk:Hindley–Milner type system

monotypes are only used in the definition of the semantics. In many contemporary papers types are stratified into two classes: polytypes (Damas & Milner's type-schemes) and monotypes (Damas & Milner's types). Milner (1978) only uses two classes but leaves all quantifiers implicit and doesn't have a type annotation on his lambda (or even mention exactly over what it can abstract, I believe). It might be useful to note all this in the article, though.
870:"Readers unfamiliar with the lambda calculus might not only be puzzled by the syntax, which can quickly be straightened out translating, that the application e_1 e_2 represents the function application, often written e_1(e_2) and that the abstraction means anonymous function or function literal, common in most contemporary programming languages, there perhaps spelled only more verbosely \texttt{function}\,(x)\ \texttt{return}\ e\ \texttt{end}." 162: 414: 1320:"Type variables are monotypes. Standing alone, a type variable α is meant to be as concrete as int or β, and clearly different from both. Type variables occurring as monotypes behave as if they were type constants whose identity is unknown. Correspondingly, a function typed α→α only maps values of the particular type α on itself. Such a function can only be applied to values having type α and to no others." 4398:. And yes, stylistically it can become less ornamented in parts, but the introduction's content might essentially be rather misplaced leading to an impression of wrong tone. Most particular, no referable lemma or section for "type" and other prerequisites are present in WP. Thus, the issue might better be fixed by distributing the content of the introduction to other lemmata and then drawing from them. 85: 64: 33: 2958:. This links both examples. In HM, the types of variables introduced in the let-clause can be instanciated as explained in the preceeding section, parameters can not. Thus, the abbreviation is still valid with respect to the computation, but not for the typing, which behaves different on both sides. I agree, that the section can be improved. -- 4292:. While I can't remember the specifics of why a tagged it (as it was a good few months ago now), at the moment I feel the predominant use of lists and lack of inline citations in many places, along with other concern would warrant this tag. Hope this helps, and feel free to copy this message over to the appropriate talk page. 2447:
increasingly common - c++ is a good example, it had no type inference before c+11 but now can infer types in some situations with auto or decltype. Start with an example of the problem and show how the algorithm solves the problem, like you would with an article on binary search or btree insertion or something similar.
4596:. If you have a suitable article at hand, please drop a line. IMO, the point here is the static binding of the type variables left implicit in rule system, which obscures both rule system and the generalization process. I think, this might be clarified for sake of accessibility by looking at type system from point of 2517:
While the suggestions how to "fix" the article are not helpful, I hold the complain for rightful and take it serious. As it currently is, the article has an unclear focus of the audience. This is a Knowledge article and a programmer or CS student interested in type inference should be able to read at

The "universal function" mentioned seems to be just an example of a function returning values of different types which in all static type systems can only be represented be an uppermost type (often called "top" or "object") or some wrapper-type. The type system thus does not "collapse", but correctly

failed. There's quite some frustration about this expressed in the literature. "outstanding" was meant more as relatively "isolated" in respect of extensions or extensibility. This was a very neutral remark, actually, and I believe one worth to mention. I'll reinsert it later in the end in context of

Are mono-types constants or can be variables? That is what should be explained in plain English, that is the kind of change that can make this article clearer. Aren't polytypes universally quantified type variables? That should be the starting point, the description in plain English, then the formal
3020:
Another mistake is the way lateral conditions are placed. For example, in the "Declarative Rule System" box, the rule (whose name is not "Var" by the way, it should be "Taut" because it's a "tautology") shows "x : σ ∈ Γ" on top of the line, but that is a side condition and it should be on the side.
2593:
While the article has links to most of these topics, they do not improve readability since the prerequisite is unknown but used. Thus a link only sends the reader away. Not knowing the prerequisites is not the interested readers fault, but a challenge for the author. I did not consciously check this
2391:
I do like the version in the article, it is very clean, and as noted, alludes to a comparison with the syntactic rules. For this reason I have seen this presentation being used on several occasions (e.g. in class). This is, however, a matter of taste; why not also provide the pseudo-code and let the

Now brevity and focus is also a matter of the state of other lemmas or material one can draw from. At this point you wish that the article should get out of the way, i.e. moved to a blog or something, as well as it should remain accessible, which is too unspecific for me. Please see the "wp:length"

Since i did not revised the article for quite a while and left it with its red line burried deeply under too many distracting side notes making it hard to read and improve, i thank all the other authors, proof-readers and those, who wrote on the talk page for their contributions and patience during

The second question, whether the algorithm makes use only of rules in the system and of no other rules. Otherwise, it could be inconsistent w.r.t. to the rule system or the rule system incomplete w.r.t. the algorithm. This is not really a 'decision' but rather the implementation of the rules or its

But my point is actually only that all the substitutions can be carried out cheaply by a side effect eliminating all their various compositions, too. Making the side effects explicit does of course add extra variables and computations, making things "harder" (actually only more laborious) to follow

To fix this, I should perhaps turn around the order and emphasize first on the advantage of the form used in the original article, namely being side-effect free and explicit and reformulate its disadvantage positively, to that the substitutions and their composition needed in a fully explicit form

Because quite some technologies and notations uncommon in "normal" programming and CS are used here, virtually everything in the article fails to "parse" and the article becomes incomprehensible. Example current prerequisites are: understanding grammar and terms as a data type, i.e. discriminated

Which "decision problem" is undecidable for "anything as expressive as the lambda calculus"? The obvious one would be the type inference problem, but AFAIK there are type systems with recursive types for which type inference is decidable and which are able to type every term of the untyped lambda

Actually, i'm not sure, under which conditions, i.e. with which rules precisely the inference becomes "undecidable". Could you please add some citation? I guess, one could drop the let-clause and allow a more liberal version of generalization. Then one could attempt to construct a variant of the

The definitions of the original author do not always stick. Damas & Milner (1982) stratify types into three classes: monotypes (without type variables), types (without quantifiers and with variables; the types of things a lambda can abstract over), and type-schemes (with quantifiers). Their

I don't even know where to start - this is incomprehensible. What's worse is that if you look up type inference, it says "the solution to type inference has been known since 1958" and points you here to five pages of formulas. Type inference in static languages is new for most people but

seems to be tautological, as I consider "different" to mean the same as "other". At least, the part is unclear. Maybe it was intended to mean that different monotype terms always denote different types, i.e. the mapping from terms to types is injective? Or maybe it is better to explain the

A wrong decision can have two effects. Either it fails to find a proof, i.e. claiming a type error where the is non, or second, producing not the principle type (technically by choosing not to generalize or wrongly instantiating), which could later lead to the first, a purported type

The run-time of HM can be exponential in the size of the expression, so this paragraph is somewhat strongly worded. There are some performance results in the literature (exponential in the depth of the nesting of let-bindings, so linear in practice, if I remember

If that parapgraph isn't revised, I suggest that a note is added, explaining the deviant notation in the original papers. Moreover, an example should then be given for a function of some type α, but not of type ∀α.α. This could also help making more clear what

Yes, that would be a better way to phrase this. And more part of this article could use some improvements in the clarity of writing. This may have to do something with the original author not being a native speaker, although I'm not quite sure if the

This is stylized form of academic writing which does not best serve the purpose here. Legitimized by whom? Direct comparison with side-tack against what? And where the heck is the main verb in the long string of words following the comma? —

Reworking the article, i'll give a proper attributation to the algorithm. Since implementing side effects might not be possible or wanted in a functional language, algorithm W has of course its own rights. But as Milner emphasises, algorithm W

For a student or programmer who wishes to implement or understand it, because that is taught in programming languages courses or some course project to implement some interpreter, a detailed and "technical" exposition is needed.

This subject is hardly be of the interest of a reader who ignores lambda calculus and logic. The inference rules are very common in logic and formal computer science. For example in semantic rules for programming languages.

Very simple explanations, even in natural language, can be given on what a type system is and what type systems exist with examples in the more popular programming languages to contrast with the Damas-Hindley-Milner system.

That should be enough for a casual reader, for example a programmer that want to know what means that Haskell has Hindley-Milner types. That intuitive introduction should be enough to satisfy those readers.

You are right, Stephen70edwards. Thank you. Indeed, proofs that produce the principle type often have a generalization step in the end. I'll look for the proof in the Damas-Milner paper, as you suggest. --

That you find my presentation harder to understand is very unfortunate. I have consciously not presented the original form in favor for the readers. I fail to see the critic, when you write

The problem is the style of the presentation, is not clear. The intent to explain here what lambda calculus is, is absurd, it only makes the article more difficult to read.

Yes, this is wrong and should be changed, especially as "qualifier" does have a very specific and different meaning in some type systems (e.g., Mark Jones' qualified types). —
