If this can cheer you up a bit, last year in University of Nantes the two fourth year projects that got the joint best mark were written in OCaml (one was a spell checking framework for African languages and the other was a library for parallel programming, there's a link to it in the Humps). So you see teaching a language *can* convince people to use it later... Olivier.
