Dear OCaml users,
As OCamlPro is starting its activity, one of our main concern is to
drag new industrial companies towards OCaml in the medium term. To
better understand how to convince them that they should use OCaml, we
are conducting a short survey on the main benefits of using OCaml, from
outside of the academic world, and on the main needs/obstacles that we
should target, to make OCaml more appealing for industrial users.
If your company uses OCaml at a large scale, i.e. if you are among a
team (at least two ;-) ) of OCaml developers, we would be interested to
hear about the reasons why your company chose OCaml for developing
software, and about the problems you meet using OCaml, so that we can
work on it. Here is the link to the survey:

Thanks a lot,

Yes, of course, but I don't know yet at which level of details, as going
into details might require to anonymize the responses.

What about a survey about why our companies chose _not_ to use OCaml ?
Wouldn't be useful as well ?

Actually, it is part of the survey, but the question is about the
"needs" of those who chose it, but it can also be seen as the reasons
why your company chose not to use it, because those needs were not filled.
Anyway, of course, if anybody is part of a company where a discussion
happened about using or not OCaml, feel free to reply to the survey, as
the questions are "opened", so that you can add comments wherever you want.
