The merits of polymorphic typing, combined with higher-order functions, are now also recognized in the `main-stream' hardware description languages, exemplified by the new \VHDL-2008 standard~\cite{VHDL2008}. \VHDL-2008 support -for generics has been extended to types, allowing a developer to describe -polymorphic components.
