I felt that most people here had a very good discussion. I just didn't like
that a couple of people resorted to name-calling. I get that they don't
like something, there's no need to belittle others who do.

Very interesting that parenthesis syntax is closer to high-school algebra
function syntax. I really do hope that Reason or something like it becomes
popular as a teaching language. I've heard that some high schools in the
States are teaching C++ to kids as their first language. If we can present
OCaml/Reason as a good alternative, we can save kids from having to learn
C++ :-D
