The Block Expression

The block expression is sort of an "invisible" expression, meaning you don't explicitly create them: They are implicitly created whenever you have an indented block. Blocks are essentially a list of expressions that get evaluated one after another, and the last expression of the block is the return value of the block expression.

For example:

let x =
  let y = 123
  y

echo (x)

Here we are creating an indented block, assigning 123 to y, then evaluating (ie, returning) y from that block, which finally gets assigned to x.
