Strange Loop Conference | "Polymorphism Unbound" by Bruce Eckel (Strange Loop 2022) @StrangeLoopConf | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Learned through inheritance, it can be difficult to see the big picture of polymorphism: a function parameter that accepts more than one type. Different forms of polymorphism determine what types can be accepted and what you can do with those types within the function. This talk improves your ability to reason about polymorphism by exploring different abilities and constraints in languages like C++, Java, Python, Kotlin and Scala.
