Draft tutorials on Modules, Functors and Libraries

Dear OCamlers,

The series on ocaml.org tutorial updates continue. This time, the ocaml.org team has three drafts related to the module system in a single pull request. We want your feedback on it:

• GH PR: Update Modules and Functors Tutorials #1778
• Online drafts:
  • Modules — This is a refresh of the previous version
  • Functors — This is mostly new material
  • Libraries With Dune — This is entirely new material

The target audience is developers learning OCaml. No functional programming knowledge is assumed. However, it comes after the “Get Started” series:

1. Installing OCaml
2. A Tour of OCaml
3. Your First OCaml Program

They also require the first two tutorials of the “Introduction” series as prerequisites:

1. Values and Functions
2. Basic Datatypes and Pattern Matching

As the previously announced drafts, these also contain overlooked issues. We want to make it better with your help.

Share your feedback on GitHub or here, but do not use the “Contribute” link at the bottom of the staging pages.

Hope it helps
