Row Polymorphism Unplugged: Flexibility in Hindley–Milner Type Systems

Take a deep dive into Hindley–Milner type inference, row polymorphism, unification, and let-polymorphism. We'll explore how flexible record types unleash composable software, compare Algorithm W and Algorithm J, and explain recursion handling in HM. Through friendly analogies—jazz improvisation, puzzle pieces, and peace treaties—this episode makes the theory and practice of modern type systems approachable for developers and language lovers alike.
