Abstract
This article presents an in-depth study of the close connection between Haskell type classes and C++ template/traits mechanism- two different facilties for implementing generic programming concepts. Haskell type classes and various extensions can be closely mimicked by C++ templates/traits and related mechanisms. We highlight the subtleties related to type-based computations and the limitations induced by language design on the program behaviour by a number of examples. 1
