Well, the OCaml post discusses an implementation of Functor in OCaml -- it's not focused on OCaml's functor keyword (these are two distinct things). > And, some of the later posts in this thread have been focusing on the > Haskell definition of functor. The Functor type class in Haskell is the same formal structure though implementation and usage differs (OCaml doesn't have type classes).
