List,

I was wondering if there was any obstruction to the removal of the "let" keyword in a syntax for coreML.

My reasoning is that because everytime there is a "let" there is also an "=" sign, we could completely remove the "let" and use the "=" sign instead to identify new symbol introductions.

x = 1
s = function x -> x + 1
d = s 1
o = function f g -> function x -> f (g x)

The only cases to handle would be
- comparison "=" sign : replaced by "=="
- let rec : could be ignored or replaced by something else like "=|"
- equational style 'let f x y = x + y' : forbid

Does anyone see anything that could prevent this from being done ?
