It's a cute drawing. It's hard to know more without any context. I
teach both Python and OCaml to undergraduates, but the students have to
learn Python first (to get a firm grasp on basic programming). My
experience with OCaml (which I vastly prefer to Python) is that it's
polarizing. Some students absolutely love it, but others struggle with
the language and have a hard time getting their programs to compile even
after weeks of effort. Such students are obviously going to prefer other
languages.
