The original question was about feedback on OCaml being used to teach programming, and I think it is good that is answered in detail if it can help in making informed curriculum decisions. Don't hesitate to keep providing data if you think it helps. On the other side, there is no "competition" going on here -- and it's indeed an excellent thing that Haskell, being a beautiful language, is also taught at university (same for SML)! If only there were less Java courses... I'm sure there are interesting things to be said about "Haskell and OCaml" (rather than "vs."), but this is not the way to start it. "Keep Caml and Curry On"!
