I really like pattern matching in Rust, but I find myself using it less and less. `if let` and `let ... else` require substantially less indentation, and I often use them for Option values. I don't miss this syntactic sugar in OCaml though. Maybe it's just because OCaml has a 2 space indent, unlike Rust's 4 space indent?

I still find it weird that constructors aren't first class functions in OCaml. `id Just` is legal in Haskell, but `id Some` is an error in OCaml. Are there any advantages of the OCaml approach?

Structs are great in Rust, but sometimes I find them a bit heavyweight. There's a little more syntax than e.g. OCaml, for type definitions and usages. I end up using more structs (records) in OCaml as a result. rust-analyzer has "convert tuple to named struct", which helps.
