I'm not sure it's such bad news.  The company I work is making pretty succesful use of OCaml at the moment, and there are a few others out there doing the same.  I just didn't see much interest in the kind of document Jon described.  We're already past the part where we had to convince people to take a gamble on developing in OCaml.  So far, it's gone pretty well...

My comp= any is using OCaml is a lot of our projects, mainly for development
tool= s (compilers, level generators, resources builders... ). It's perfectly
suitable in the case where you need to manipulate a lot of data structu= res
and apply algorithms to them.
