Emacs' support for OCaml is exceptionally good. Not only does tuareg-mode have a decent REPL integration, but it even has thorough 'pair' highlighting for keywords! Even more impressively, merlin-eldoc understands scope and shadowing when highlighting symbols!

Some subtle shadowing gotchas in Rust: https://users.rust-lang.org/t/surprising-item-shadowing/3494 (fortunately the compiler warns you in this circumstance)

Today I found that the following program prints 92 fn main() { let x: i32 = 92; { const x: i32 = 42; println!("{}", x); } } This happens because const is an item and the reference says "it is otherwise identical in meaning to declaring the item outside the statement block.". Is this behavior intentional?
