Well, we can debate how mainstream Haskell is, but especially if you mean ML in the sense that does not include also OCaml, then ML definitely is not a mainstream language.


OCaml might be mainstream to armchair FP developers on HN and language theorists at Facebook, but it remains a fairly unpopular choice for developing software outside academia. Even Haskell is pretty unpopular relative to the amount of software developed daily.


Random anecdata, my coworker used to do a lot of work with OCaml.
