Ponder - A non-strict polymorphic, functional language by Jon Fairbairn <jf@cl.cam.ac.uk>.

Ponder's type system is unusual. It is more powerful than the Hindley-Milner type system used by ML and Miranda and extended by Haskell. Ponder adds extra recursive 'mu' types to those of Girard's System F, allowing more general recursion. Surprisingly, the type system and type inference algorithm are still not completely understood.

Us wine chappies have a penchant for flowery introspection from time to time, but these past few weeks I've been a lot more concerned with the workings of the cosmos than one would normally expect from such a belly button ponderer (sic) as myself.

6 Dans ces conditions, il serait hasardeux de ponderer les resultats de l'enquete par les proportions effectives des diverses strates de taille reelles des PME en vue de faire des generalisations a l'ensemble de la population, car une telle approche presuppose d'une part, que les entreprises qui ne sont pas dans l'echantillon se comportent indifferemment de celles qui y sont, et d'autre part, qu'on fait abstraction de l'erreur d'echantillonnage.
