Haskell maps to abstract types while ML maps to concrete types. Explain what this means and address which method, if either (feel free to suggest alternatives), is better.23 Feb 1999; Session 10CS655Today’s Topics•Aspect-oriented programming: Kiczales talk•  calculus• Denotational semantics•Next time: Library lady23 Feb 1999; Session 10CS655Project•Objective : to learn one or more new languages through analysis and use, in order to broaden your view and understanding of programming languages concepts and issues.•Assignment:–Identify and receive approval for a project in which you learn one or more new programming languages or make a significant contribution to an existing (or evolving) language. –You may work on a default project (see next slide)•You may work in groups of up to three people.
