OCamlTeX is a combination of an OCaml script and LaTeX style file that, together, give the user the ability to define LaTeX macros in terms of OCaml code.

Dependent Classes, by Vaidas Gasiunas, Mira Mezini, and Klaus Ostermann. “This paper presents dependent classes, a generalization of virtual classes that expresses similar semantics by parameterization rather than by nesting. This increases expressivity of class variations as well as the flexibility of their modularization. Besides, dependent classes complement multimethods in scenarios where multi-dispatched abstractions rather than multi-dispatched methods are needed.”
