No, however I can say that ML[1] is very rewarding until you try and
do anything involving interactive user input in it, then there is a
hurdle which you must cross and after that follows blind devotion and
madness.
However moving on, if you want to look at a real world Ocaml
application might i suggest the synchronisation tool Unison.

It impressed me as it was the first thing implemented in a derivative
of ML that was actually useful.
[1] Which I `studied' at university for a few years and is the parent
of Ocaml.
