Question is in the title :slight_smile:

I would nominate any project by @dbuenzli : he knows how to write the code, also how to write the documentation. Concretely, maybe cmdliner might be nice to look at. Or fmt.

The “fix” project by Francois Poittier, is also a good choice. I have been hacking on that for the last week, and it’s lovely code. Also powerful ideas and theory there, but really, that isn’t a prerequisite for your question, I’d think. I’s well-written and easy-to-modify: I’m using to hack/hack…

+1 for dream by @antron . It’s a real pleasure to read and to see the power of just a bunch of types that are glorified functions.

What is an example of a good, modern OCaml codebase that I can learn from?
