I think we just define functional programming differently. How do you define it? Also, I just noticed this part again: > Honestly the hardest thing learning OCaml was figuring out where to put the brackets and semicolons. I am 100% serious. Unironically, I'd recommend Haskell, or another programming language with similar whitespace-sensitive syntax. I'm more familiar with Haskell than OCaml (though inexperienced in both), and the semicolons and other delimiters actually got me as well. > They're talking about all the borrowing, lifetime and generics syntax. Not the basic blocks and semicolons. That's half the syntax to get confused about. But, ignoring that, people also get confused by the implicit returns at the ends of blocks.
