Refactoring features have contributed to the popularity of editors like IntelliJ, as well as certain programming languages whose editor support offers interactive mechanisms to manage code — Gleam being an excellent example. Even though OCaml has some features related to refactoring (such as renaming occurrences, substituting typed holes with expressions, and case analysis for pattern matching), the goal of my internship was to kickstart work on a robust set of features to enable the smooth inte
