Implementations of abstract data types are defined via an enrichment of the target type. We suggest to use an extended typed λ-calculus for such an enrichment in order to meet the conceptual requirement that an implementation has to bring us closer to a (functional) program. Composability of implementations is investigated, the main theorem being that composition of correct implementations is correct if terminating programs are implemented by terminating programs. Moreover we provide syntactical criteria to guarantee correctness of composition.
