Functors
- ColinWright 12y agoThis is a case of "Read like math" - you can't just skim this and get the ideas, you'll have to work with the text, fence with the examples, struggle with the notation, and fight your way through. If you're not willing to put in the effort you wont gain much from this. But if you are willing to put in the effort, there is considerable insight to be gained. And after all, what does one ever get for free? Anything worth having requires payment. For ideas and understanding, that payment is your time and effort.

To an OCaml programmer, a functor is something else: https://realworldocaml.org/v1/en/html/functors.html https://realworldocaml.org/v1/en/html/functors.html A Prolog programmer will also think of something else when he hears the word 'functor'.
