Syntax of ExML • type [args] T = K1ofτ1 | … | Kkofτk • type KEY = Key of‘a * (‘a -> int) • Key(3, fun x -> 5) • Key([1, 2, 3], list_length) • Key(3, list_length) (* error *) • let (Key(v,f)) = x in f v • let (Key(v,f)) = x in v (* error *)
Syntax of ExML (cont.) • type Key = {x : ‘a; f : ‘a -> int} • let z = {x = 3, f = fun x -> x + 2} in z.f z.x • let z = {x = 3, f = fun x -> x + 2} in z.f (* error *) • let z = {x = 3, f = fun x -> x + 2} inlet y = z in z.f y.x (* error *)
Syntax of ExML (cont.) • type‘a STACK = {Self : ‘b; Push : ‘a -> ‘b -> ‘b; Pop : ‘b -> ‘b; Top : ‘b -> ‘a; Null : ‘b -> bool} • let push x s = s with {Self = s.Push x s.Self} • let top s = s.Top s.Self
