I think it's only since 3 or 4 years, teachers can choose between Caml and Pascal. For all the students I know, it is Caml.
According to Doud Bagley's Great Computer Language Shootout, it seems not to affect the speed of Caml (second behind C). Of course, imperative aspects must be used carefully.

In France, students learn Caml during their first year before school of engineer. Maybe this will help the devel of ML in industry.
Moreover, ML languages (like Caml) are really portable.
F# looks like OCaml. You can have a look on the libraries already present for this fabulous language on the hump http://caml.inria.fr/humps/index.html
