Speaking about F# and readability: Reading F# (and Ocaml) without an editor sucks: - Nobody bothers to include type or visibility annotations in function prototypes. Signature files are not local and thus are not included in diffs etc. If you think that doesn't matter, go to https://github.com/fsharp/fsharp/blob/master/src/fsharp/FSharp.Core/seq.fs#L261 https://github.com/fsharp/fsharp/blob/master/src/fsharp/FSha... and tell me the type of generateWhileSome. - The order of compilation matters, and is defined in the Build script: > Essentially, I either start from the first line of the first file, and read forward, or the last line of the last file, working my way back." That only works in the IDE. On github, the workflow goes like this: Open the build file, look for the first file. Find that file in the directory structure. Read that file and go back to the build script, rinse, repeat ad nausea.
