why () is () and [] is [] work in other way?

Haskell is kind of abstruse and has a notoriously steep learning curve,
as it's mostly meant as a research testbed and as a playground for
language geeks.  ML/OCaml is by all accounts much easier, and I know of
a couple of former Python projects that successfully migrated to OCaml
once Python's warts and low performance got too annoying.  Erlang (which
is functional but untyped) has also been displacing Python in some
settings.
