    10271028\CC is the most similar language to \CFA;
     
    10411042In \CFA terms, all Cyclone polymorphism must be dtype-static.
    10421043While the Cyclone design provides the efficiency benefits discussed in Section~\ref{sec:generic-apps} for dtype-static polymorphism, it is more restrictive than \CFA's general model.
    1043 \citet{Smith98} present Polymorphic C, an ML dialect with polymorphic functions and C-like syntax and pointer types; it lacks many of C's features, however, most notably struct types, and so is not a practical C replacement.

    10451046\citet{obj-c-book} is an industrially successful extension to C.
    10461047However, Objective-C is a radical departure from C, using an object-oriented model with message-passing.
    1047 Objective-C did not support type-checked generics until recently \citep{xcode7}, historically using less-efficient runtime checking of object types.
     1048Objective-C did not support type-checked generics until recently \citet{xcode7}, historically using less-efficient runtime checking of object types.
    10481049The~\citet{GObject} framework also adds object-oriented programming with runtime type-checking and reference-counting garbage-collection to C;
    10491050these features are more intrusive additions than those provided by \CFA, in addition to the runtime overhead of reference-counting.
    10501051\citet{Vala} compiles to GObject-based C, adding the burden of learning a separate language syntax to the aforementioned demerits of GObject as a modernization path for existing C code-bases.
    1051 Java~\citep{Java8} included generic types in Java~5 which are type-checked at compilation and type-erased at runtime, similar to \CFA's.
     1052Java~\citep{Java8} included generic types in Java~5, which are type-checked at compilation and type-erased at runtime, similar to \CFA's.
    10521053However, in Java, each object carries its own table of method pointers, while \CFA passes the method pointers separately to maintain a C-compatible layout.
    10531054Java is also a garbage-collected, object-oriented language, with the associated resource usage and C-interoperability burdens.
     
    10631064\CFA, with its more modest safety features, allows direct ports of C code while maintaining the idiomatic style of the original source.

    10661068
    10671069Many programming languages have some form of tuple construct and/or variadic functions, \eg SETL, C, KW-C, \CC, D, Go, Java, ML, and Scala.
