I first heard about Jane Street taking the first computational linguistics course that used OCaml. I followed them over the next decade, every couple years seeing them pop up.
The given reasons for using Ocaml outlined in this article is interesting. It makes reasoning about complex systems easier. And making an "esoteric choice" earlier has advantages in hiring.
Assuming you give back to keep it going.
I don't have the advantage of secrecy where I'm at. But I'd be willing to guess that strategy could apply to other languages and markets.

Have fun first movers.
