Is OCaml an especially comfortable environment to work in?
One of my favorite programs, an ncurses-based RPN calculator called Orpie, is written in OCaml, but I've never messed around with it.

Hey, I've also used and loved Orpie!
I'm not extremely familiar with any of the ML family, but Eric Lippert had a blog series I followed for a while in which he was writing a Z-Machine in Ocaml: https://ericlippert.com/2016/02/01/west-of-house/ I followed along but in Rust for a while, though I think he paused the project at some point and I lost steam.
I learned more about Rust (which, IIRC was first implemented in Ocaml) than I did about Ocaml, but it's always seemed like a nice language.
