Since the author mentions Haskell as a positive example multiple times, I don't think a lack of C-like syntax is the problem for them here.
Also, the author claims:
> Since 2013 I’ve had the chance to use OCaml a few times in different jobs, and I got frustrated and disappointed every time I had to use it.
So it's safe to assume "in a few days" their dislike for OCaml syntax won't go away.
For the record, I don't think syntax is a big issue.
- yodsanklai 4y agoIncidentally, I find Haskell syntax more confusing, specifically the semantic indentation. But maybe I'm like the author, I don't use Haskell regularly enough so that the syntax sinks in.
- mattgreenrocks 4y agoBeen using Haskell full-time for a year or so now, and using it part-time a few years ago for a side project. The reliance on indentation is nice and light but definitely bites you every now and then.
