If your company is ever looking for more OCaml programmers, please let me know. (My email address is in my profile.) I learned Haskell and OCaml ages ago, and once upon a time I tried getting a job working with one of them. Unfortunately, the companies wouldn't take me seriously without professional experience in those languages. > feeling insecure because of the stereotype that one needs a PhD to write programs in a particular language One certainly doesn't need a PhD to program in a functional language. But I can tell you, there is a big gap between being able to do it and convincing someone to hire you. I even have a PhD in comp sci, and AFAICT, it hasn't convinced anyone that I can do anything in particular.
