&gt; OCaml seems to be adding type class support<p>Funnily enough, Scala&#x27;s implicit-based type classes were the inspiration for the coming modular implicits type classes in OCaml (as opposed to the Haskell approach). It wouldn&#x27;t be the first time that two languages have mutually inspired each other (The Rust and Swift teams have both acknowledged certain design decisions inspired by the counterpart).
