I wish there was a language that had the syntax of ReasonML, built on top of F# because the ecosystem of F# is much better

It's very easy to get lost in syntax when transferring from C like languages like JavaScript to F#, some concessions (like Reason has) to semi colons and braces might help those programmers (myself included) to feel at home




This. I really like functional programming, and FP proponents keep telling me syntax isn't a big deal, but I'm constantly stubbing my toe on it. I guess my deferred-gratification mechanism isn't that strong, because I get bored quickly of battling syntax when I could do something interesting in an imperative language now.
