Why is OCaml convention to use `type t = ... `

I don’t see the OCaml convention of FooBar.t any different to looking for type class instances in Haskell or traits in Rust and Scala. You need to know the language specific pieces.

This could just be a fault of my OCaml / Neovim setup. The difference here, compared to Rust / Scala is that the Rust / Scala IntelliJ plugins are rock solid – they have never failed [1] me on goto-def or find-all-refs. In contrast, neovim/lsp/merlin setup is quite finicky for me.

[1] The one exception t this: sometimes Rust struggles with macro rules that take too long to expand.

EDIT: In particular, in Rust/Scala, I almost never reach for grep. In OCaml, I have a terminal dedicated to rg.
