Wasp: WASM Programming Language

This really just seems to be ML-style syntax - which is not ambiguous at all, it's just different from C-like languages (functions applied one argument at a time, with function application (empty space) having the biggest precendece)

Is it one of these?

  fibonacci (it) - 1 + fibonacci (it) - 2
  fibonacci (it - 1) + fibonacci (it - 2)
  fibonacci (it - 1 + fibonacci (it - 2))

On any sane ML-style language, it would be this:

    (fibonacci it) - 1 + (fibonacci it) - 2

But I guess it isn't the case here, because that code doesn't make sense.

In this case (and if it were interpreted as Haskell syntax), the above term would be wrong.
