We investigate type-based analysis for a higher-order channel passing language with strong update, whereby messages of a different kind are communicated over the same channel. In order to reason about such programs, our type system employs the concept of uniqueness to be able to assert when it is safe to change the object type a channel. We design a type system based on this concept and prove that our type system is sound, meaning that it only accepts programs that do not produce runtime errors.peer-reviewe
