PonderA non-strict polymorphic, functional language by JonFairbairn .
Ponder's type system is unusual. It is more powerful than theHindley-Milner type system used by ML and Miranda andextended by Haskell. Ponder adds extra recursive 'mu' typesto those of Girard's System F, allowing more generalrecursion. Surprisingly, the type system and type inference algorithm are still not completely understood.
