Here are some very popular prog langs for the following arenas :

commercial, general-purpose, Internet, safety-critical

The prog langs : COBOL, C, Javascript, Ada(83)

Which of them rely on "trees or DAGS for type matching and equivalency detection" ??

None. QED.

Additionally, you exposed your (previously indicated) ignorance about the fundamentals of type theory. For type matching is always done on the basis of type *name* and/or *structure* .

Neither of which require "trees or DAGs" .

1. Yes, in response to a *completely different* discussion.
2. You have not been able to show us anything in my posting that is "vaguery" (surprise surprise) .

Once again, you have suffered a 'typing Tourettes' attack, but couldn't even direct it to a vaguely relevant posting in the debate.

It is has been most amusing watching you squirm like an impaled worm on yet another episode of your muppetry. And as always, Usenet archives record them for posterity
