Parametric datatype-genericity, by Jeremy Gibbons and Ross Paterson. “Datatype-generic programs are programs that are parametrized by a datatype or type functor. There are two main styles of datatype-generic programming: the Algebra of Programming approach, characterized by structured recursion operators parametrized by a shape functor, and the Generic Haskell approach, characterized by case analysis over the structure of a datatype. We show that the former enjoys a kind of parametricity, relating the behaviours of generic functions at different types; in contrast, the latter is more ad hoc, with no coherence required or provided between the various clauses of a definition.”
