I used SML/NJ for a course I took last Fall. It was my first experience with ML other than looking over some sample code on the web. I'm not sure why, but my thought processes just work well with ML. Beautiful language. Very expressive while light on verbosity.
I heard an interview with Benjamin Pierce in which he extolled the virtues of the OCaml compiler. While he said that many other languages are interesting to him, OCaml is the go-to for getting stuff done.
Given people's comments and the linked post, my project for next Summer is going to be writing a compiler in OCaml for some simple language I'll define and implement.
