What I wish I knew when learning OCaml (2018)

Thanks for the detailed explanation. One more question though, when I write

    type 'a = 'a :: list 'a

It is syntactic sugar that allows me to get the * product type for free, right ?

That's actually invalid syntax. '::' can't be used infix in a type declaration. And type application is in reverse. So it's not list 'a but 'a list.

I think that is made up syntax from the article but maybe I’m wrong.
