That's correct. As showed, specifying types somewhere (as I did with
the return type, and someone else did for a given parameter), type
inference deduces the types of the parameters and return values,
allowing it optimise.

let f x y : <t> = .... specifies the return type, or to annotate a
parameter, use (x:<t>) -- the parentheses are required, and <t> is a
placeholder for the type expression.
