Module Functors in OCaml - citizen428.net
Note: A version of this article was originally written for Human Readable magazine in March 2020. That site no longer exists, so I decided to republish it on this blog. In the process I also converted the example code from ReasonML to OCaml syntax and updated the text to reflect those changes.

OCaml take this a step further and extends the concept to the module level. This article explores module functors, a powerful feature that offers a functional approach to code sharing, dependency injection, and more.
