The above usage of -> is a syntax error in OCaml, -> can be used in the left hand side of a let expression, but only as part of a type expression. As you say the other usage is use…

It is quite common in SML/ML code I've encountered, probably not as common in modern OCaml. BTW, in OCaml let add ((a:int), (b:int)) : int = a + b Works just fine, whereas: let add…

You can certaintly have tupled function arguments in SML/Ocaml, in fact that seems to have been the more common style there, whereas Haskell uses curried functions more commonly. A…

In functional programming (the origin of this syntax), add(a: int, b: int): int can be read as a function 'add' when applied to the parameter tuple (a: int, b: int) has type int, I…

My other comment was censored, I just strongly disagree with the cancel culture that led to Stallman's resignation. The person Sarah Mei seems to be leading this fight against Stal…

I'd much rather cancel Sarah Mei than Richard Stallman, but why do we have to cancel any one?
