By industry-oriented programs, I&#x27;m referring to institutions of higher learning which have tailored their cirricula primarily to prepare their students for employment in industry. I contrast this with those which are intended to prepare their students for research.<p>I&#x27;ve said nothing of depth about the merits of OCaml or FP <i>in itself</i>. I&#x27;m simply pointing out that the blog post clearly identifies the use of OCaml as a competitive advantage without discussing any of its drawbacks, whether these arise from the nature of the language itself or for historical reasons. This makes the article significantly less useful for a person trying to select a language for their company&#x27;s codebase, which I take to be the whole point of writing the post to begin with.<p>Perhaps the real goal of the post was to attract the attention of OCaml developers, rather than discussing the titular question &quot;Why we use OCaml.&quot; If this is the case, I&#x27;m sorry for having wasted my time criticizing it.
