Prunebutt,

Why am I laughing? I don’t know any of these languages?

xmunk,

OCaml stronk… it’s an amazing language that more people should be familiar with!

rudt has implicit typing by default for variables tho…?

FishFace,

Yeah but it doesn’t cross function boundaries so it’s more limited.

Knusper,

In other words, in OCaml, you don’t have to write type annotations into the function parameter list. It will infer even those.

It’s useful for small ad-hoc functions, but personally, I’m glad that Rust is more explicit here.

yeah structs, consts ets should always be explicit, prevents a lot oh headache
also, for adhoc stuff rust has closures which can be fully inferred (but you need to convert them to explicit function pointers for storage in structs/consts)

fl42v,

It’s not like it’s more limited, it’s just so that it can yell at you when you return not what you said you’re going to, IMO

FishFace,

OCaml allows you to specify return types, but doesn’t force you to.

I remember learning Caml in (French) university in 1996, it was brand new and from INRIA guys, I understood about nothing about it :)
