I couldn't disagree more.

If on one side what you state ("if you cannot learn a new syntax,
you're an idiot") is essentially true, on the other side "no
exception" means that you don't count as an exception. If you cannot
put a pair of parentesis around parameters...

To be clear I consider the JS syntax, in the context of functional
programming, ugly and inelegant but all in all OCaml is not that
bright example of elegant syntax. I like OCaml because I can go beyond
appearance of the syntax and because the OCaml community is
traditionally a small but strong community of real and practical
programmers.

And having OCaml (because ReasonML is OCaml) running in the browser is
priceless, with or without a couple of parentesis.
