Ugh yeah that pretty much confirms what I suspected. It's a few huge players using it for small internal projects, jane street, and a bunch of crypto shit I'm not willing to touch.

The language I work in is not even one of my top priorities when looking for work, but still it would be cool. I'm lucky enough to have enough freedom to work in it from time to time, which is good enough for me.

Thanks for the response!

Same! I've made the mistake of overlooking certain things just because I wanted to get some real world OCaml experience in the past, and I will not make the same mistake again.

At my current job I mostly use OCaml and Python, with some Typescript for whenever I need to touch a frontend application. As much as I like using OCaml, I'm more thrilled about working on a team where I enjoy working with everyone, and having a work environment that provides flexibility about picking the best tool for a job. Most of my OCaml hacking still takes place on my free time, and on my personal open-source explorations :-)

You are welcome! Sorry if my responses weren't too useful with respect to using OCaml at work.
