It's a good language but I really struggle to see why you'd choose it over Haskell. You may not need the fancier types yet, but in Haskell they'll be there for when you do, whereas in OCaml you reach the infuriating position where you know exactly what you want to do but you can't quite express it in this language without repeating yourself several times over. I guess if you've never used higher-kinded types maybe you don't miss them?

/Scala myself, but that's a slightly different niche.
