let .. in
let .. in ...
seems such a common construct in caml that it could do with some
syntatic sugar. I often see let..in run to 5-20 clauses. This appears
incredibly ugly compared to the equivalent haskell code, is harder to
read and takes longer to write due to the clutter of the surrounding
token magic. Has anyone thought about applying layout in general to
ocaml, or otherwise sugaring let...in? Is there any reason why the BNF
let {name = expr}+ in
would be ambiguous?
The only other haskell features I frequently miss, are list
comprehensions and multiple argument pattern matching.
Cheers,
Julian.
