Wait... you're kidding me.

In Haskell, you can write

   foo = some function of bar

   bar = some function of foo

But apparently in Ocaml, this produces a compile-time error, since when 
foo is defined, bar hasn't been defined yet. Apparently you have to write

   let rec foo = some function of bar
   and bar = some function of foo

In other words, YOU have to manually resolve all circular dependencies 
by hand.

WTF?

(I remind you, this is functional programming and recursive definitions 
are ubiquitous...)
