Why is the syntactical array constructor [| ... |] evaluating  elements
from right to left:

 

# let f i = (Printf.printf "%d\n" i; i);;

val f : int -> int = <fun>

 

# Array.init 3 f;;

0

1

2

- : int array = [|0; 1; 2|]

 

# [| f 0 ; f 1; f 2|];;

2

1

0

- : int array = [|0; 1; 2|]

 

Thanks,
