I like ML-style modules in principle, but in practice I like the ergonomics of typeclasses.

But while I did nearly half of my career in either OCaml or Haskell, I did all of my OCaml programming and most of my Haskell programming before the recent surge of really good autocompletion systems / AI; and I notice how much they help with Rust.

So the ergonomics of ML-style modules might be perfectly acceptable now, when you have an eager assistant filling in the busy work for obvious cases. Not sure.
