You are comparing different things. OCaml strength is safety, it verifies at compile time that your program is safe, correct apart algorithmic errors. Once it compiles, you are almost sure it is going to work. Go does not give any such guarantee.

And among "safe" languages, OCaml is probably the most efficient, generating fast code running with a small memory footprint.

Moreover, although its development was a little slow in the last years, they have recently restarted working on it, on optimizations and soon multicore support, so I would wait a little before making more comparisons.
