If using semicolons instead of commas is enough of a showstopper for you it's probably that you just don't have a need for the language :).

Honestly, I'd argue that few people do. At a previous employer, we used it in situations where would have been much better off with a more mainstream language, in my opinion.
Of course, there are few situations that require any particular language.
Of course. But for example if you are writing a compiler, an interpreter, or anything that has to manipulate something that resembles a structured tree of meaningful data, OCaml is particularly well suited :).
