Thanks, I was starting to get a bit depressing seeing the stats on the website. In fact, I was shocked to find OCaml so far off from Clojure.

I think the adoption problem for OCaml is compounded because it suffers from lack of stackoverflow hits for any given errors that you might encounter or any given queries you might have. Searching for something as mundane as "how to read large files in OCaml" leads to just a single hit (Streams at OCaml.org) [0].

Also, OCaml needs a "recipe/patterns" book-- on how-to get some of the things done the right way in OCaml.

[0] BTW, a big fan of your work.
