Re: [Haskell-cafe] Seeking the correct quote

I first encountered this quip on ltu: http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/1926#comment-23411 However, that comment doesn't give a source either. Cheers, Sterl. On Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 4:23 PM, Jacques Carette wrote:

I have heard generic programming described tongue-in-cheek as "the kind of polymorphism that a language does not (yet) have".  I find this description rather apt, and it matches fairly what I see called 'generic' in various communities.  But who said this, where and when?
