One of the points I like to make about Ocaml is that it is (in general) a 
very pragmatic language.  Most people in industry have a really bad Not 
Invented Here problem with anything comming out of academia.  Academics, 
it is beleived, are eggheads who wouldn't know real work if it bit them on 
their ass, and write toy languages whose main purpose is life is to give 
them something to write papers about.  Therefor, anything written by 
anyone in academia can be safely ignored by the real programmers.

Thus my attraction to mechanical logos, rather than animal logos.  Start 
the spin up front- Ocaml is a "heavy industry" language, a language for 
doing real work in.  It may have a Phd, but it's got dirt under it's 
fingernails as well.
