I've used OCaml extensively. It is my favorite language. Nice set of
libraries, modern syntax, objects if you want them, great module
system. Good runtime performance, and last but not least the
quintessential polymorphic type system.  I've been curious why there's
little OCaml traffic here. Also curious why one would choose Lisp over
OCaml or Haskell these days.
