Parametric types and virtual types have recently been proposed as extensions to Java to support genericity. In this paper we investigate the strengths and weaknesses of each. We suggest a variant of virtual types which has similar expressiveness, but supports safe static type checking. This results in a language in which both parametric types and virtual types are well-integrated, and which is statically type-safe.
