Hi,
Some years ago, when I was a student, I found the code of Gérôme
Vouillon's LWT library enlightning (LWT is now part of the Ocsigen project).
Even if a great part of the concepts are OCaml only I recall that there
is a Fibonacci heap implementation that might be a good example of list
manipulation.
Cheers,
Denis
