For a more in-depth list of reasons to use OCaml, I recommend “OCaml: What You Gain” at http://roscidus.com/blog/blog/2014/02/13/ocaml-what-you-gain....

It is part of the series of posts linked in “Python to OCaml: Retrospective” at http://roscidus.com/blog/blog/2014/06/06/python-to-ocaml-ret... (HN story: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7858276). I learned a lot about OCaml from that series of posts.

For more comparisons between OCaml and other langages, see the first two posts in the series. In the first post, http://roscidus.com/blog/blog/2013/06/09/choosing-a-python-r..., the author compares OCaml to many languages, including Python, Go, and Haskell. The second post http://roscidus.com/blog/blog/2013/06/20/replacing-python-ro... summarizes his conclusions about the languages – he decided that either Haskell or OCaml would meet his needs best. (He chose OCaml after that, obviously.)
