    10201020While \CC provides good backwards compatibility with C, it has a steep learning curve for many of its extensions.
    10211021For example, polymorphism is provided via three disjoint mechanisms: overloading, inheritance, and templates.
    1022 The overloading is restricted because resolution does not using the return type, inheritance requires learning object-oriented programming and coping with a restricted nominal-inheritance hierarchy, templates cannot be separately compiled resulting in compilation/code bloat and poor error messages, and determining how these mechanisms interact and which to use is confusing.

    10231023In contrast, \CFA has a single facility for polymorphic code supporting type-safe separate-compilation of polymorphic functions and generic (opaque) types, which uniformly leverage the C procedural paradigm.
    10241024The key mechanism to support separate compilation is \CFA's \emph{explicit} use of assumed properties for a type.
