That's interesting, I've always really loved the "return last expression in a block" syntax. (Ruby and Rust can be added to your list as well.) That syntax just reads really naturally to me.

I like that too, but both Rust and Ruby allow multiple expressions/statements before the last expression. In Haskell and OCaml IIUC you need to use things like `let x = ... in <expr>` or `<expr> where x = ...`, so you still have a single expression in function bodies.
