OCaml also has the feature he is asking for too. A complete example with
inline typing as an example:
```ocaml
type myRecord = {
someInt : int;
someStr : string;
someFlt : float;
}
let createMyRecord : int -> string -> float -> myRecord =
fun someInt someStr someFlt ->
{ someInt; someStr; someFlt }
let myRecordTest =
createMyRecord 42 "Hello World" 6.28
let () = Js.log myRecordTest
```
See the function `createMyRecord`.
