The reason to know JS is the same as the reason to know C - it's THE underlying language for gigantic platforms that are not going away for decades.

As for OCaml, the ppl seem way nicer than most language communities, and I have fond memories of it being the first language compiler/runtime to build & work against musl pretty much out-of-the-box, years before musl was even public.

Also, there's a massive C static analysis opensource framework written in OCaml

I had put off learning OCaml given it’s large syntactical differences from from C-style languages (ALGOL 68, BCPL heritage). Perhaps have a look at Reason ML. An OCaml derivative with JavaScript-like syntax that leverages both ecosystems (via nodejs):https://reasonml.github.io/

I saw it, but figured it probably has different community, tooling, ecosystem (esp js stuff) and I'd probably rather learn "the real thing".
