By the way, I used the F# that comes with Mono. > On 12.07.2013 02:22, Richard A.

True. But it *can* be more complex than that, and in F# it *is*. > So I do not see your point. The differently indented versions of the nested let do different things. Although F# is a descendant of Ocaml, it is not the case that all "let"s in F# allow shadowing. That's the point.
