I think it has a lot to do with the writer not using blocks. It would solve both of their issues (with match and with if and semi-colons which is actually an issue of precedence)
Some people seem to have a lot of trouble with the BCPL/Pascal syntax using begin and end.
The author apparently doesn't know about "|>" either which would solve their sequencing issues.
At least this post was written in good faith. I think this highlights that there is a dearth of recent material promoting best practices when it comes to Ocaml.
