> The syntax is hard to parse for humans

This was my problem as well, the object oriented related syntax is just too much. ML of which caml is a version of, has really tight syntax. The “o” in ocaml ruins it imo.





No offense but the only time I have encountered objects in Ocaml was while using LablGTK a long time ago and the object syntax was pretty clean and not far from the module one. They are also structurally typed which is very handy.

Considering it only impacts a fairly small subset of the language, could you explain how it supposedly ruins everything?
