I wonder why you got OCaml involved... from my experience, OCaml is one of the cleanest languages known, sure there are a few special symbols and operators, like :=, :: and +., but there are relatively few, so you just learn them like you would in any other language (e.g. C has ?:, == and ++).

Sure, OCaml allows you to specify new operators, but the rules are pretty simple, and you cannot arbitrarily fuck up the syntax.
