If I learned OCaml, what type of prospects would I have?

Fairly seasoned generalist, mostly writing Go these days. Lots of plumbing with LLMs etc.

Would love to learn something new but am driven by a goal in mind (ie OCaml exposes me to "X industry")

Is that a thing?

Probably the biggest sectors where functional programming is used are finance and crypto (which is arguably finance). Some companies use OCaml itself, other companies might use other languages like Haskell where OCaml knowledge would be valuable.

You can see a list on the OCaml website of companies using it, or read some success stories (https://ocaml.org/industrial-users).
