Since you asked ...
I've never heard of OCaml until now. My brief overview tells me, I won't realize any benefit from using it versus what I have now.
I use Maple for symbolic math (our university has a site license). When I eventually can get an Intel Mac, I'll also use MatLab (our department has a license).
I use Igor Pro and its coding language for data analysis/graphing (worth every penny of the cost)
I use LaTeX for typesetting (free)
I play around with JavaScript in HTML using TextWrangler (free)
I use some basic AppleScript for scripting (free)
I plan eventually to learn C/C++ coding with XCode (free)
