This paper gives an overview of our work on generic visitors 12], and it gives a comparison of two implementations, in Java and Smalltalk. For object-oriented programming, the Visitor pattern 3] enables the deeni-tion of a new operation on an object structure without changing the classes of the objects. The discovery of generic visitors is due to striking parallels with shape polymorphic 5], or...
