I've been writing a compiler in OCaml for the language described by the dragon book for a class, and now that I'm about halfway through it I've found myself missing Rust in a few spots. In no particular order, the pain points I've hit while using OCaml:SyntaxThe OCaml syntax is... not great, its only redeeming quality being that it has no significant whitespace. There are some alternative syntax frontends for OCaml like ReasonML that fix these problems, but I didn't know about them before starting the project. let...in syntax is weird, but I can chalk that up to an aesthetic choice; the real devil is in the fact that match statements have no terminator, leading to mysterious errors sometimes if you try to nest them. In general, OCaml has very little punctuation (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) but it can mean that in some situations it's difficult to tell where this start and stop. For me, C-style brackets help make the syntax heirarchy in code more clear.Another annoyance is automatic currying and partial function application. Usually partial function application is a bug, and typically there is a helpful lint where it happens, but if you're not explicitly annotating types the errors can be inscrutable. My preferred method for debugging syntax-related issues is to start randomly adding parenthesis where I think things are supposed to start and end, and usually that makes it clear where the error is.
