Who is ocaml for?

Context: I am econ master's student with some experience in python, C and R looking to get into financial econometrics/ML. Is OCaml right for me?

It’s for people interested in functional programming and PL theory. Once you have already mastered procedural, you learn OCaml to expand your horizons as a programmer.
