Yes, I did try it after Haskell.

I had the impression the FP hype started with Haskell and so I tried it, alter people started talking about OCaml, so I gave FP another try and liked it.

I did as well. I tried Haskell on my own in the aughts before giving up. I had some fond exposure to OCaml and SML but never got into it until I heard the Jane Street talks, heard about MirageOS, and decided to take the OCaml course in 2016.

I've since gone back to Haskell and am finally enjoying it... but I credit OCaml with getting me to a place where I could enjoy Haskell the second time around.
