gollark: I don't know exactly how OCaml modules work, but they seem generally saner?
gollark: It's WORSE, not better. Importing a module should actually isolate the functions in it to a scope or something unless you explicitly don't want that, and apparently the .h thing makes compilation more bees.
gollark: There's no namespacing.
gollark: I don't count header files as modules.
gollark: Also C should have modules.
