Edit: skim-read GP, got the wrong ML.
I touched on the PL ML in a type systems course. I can't speak for how common it is though. It's certainly much more likely for someone who takes a course on type systems or PL theory though, presumably given that choice it's pretty common.

There were several available to me. It's not really a particular interest of mine, but I took an introductory course anyway, since it would have seemed a bit remiss in today's world to have graduated without knowing an NN from an SVM.
Unfortunately for my grades, performance usually reflects interest... I still don't think I actually regret it though.
