Abstract

We will argue that usage of type information still has a lot of unused and unexplored potential towards supporting frameworks. In the functional programming community the usage of static type systems successfully supports highly abstract, modular and reusable frameworks in the area of language interpreters [3]. We will illustrate with an example how similar type systems in OO languages allow more active usage of type information. We claim that this facilitates a more direct expression of the framework's domain theory, thus helping both framework developer and user.
