Spoiler: if you came here all excited about the name beginning with Caml, Camli stands for Content-Addressable Multi-Level Indexed. It isn't related to the Categorical Abstract Machine Language. It's written in Go, not OCaml. (Yes, I know long ago Zinc was substituted for the Categorical Abstract Machine down in the depths of OCaml.)

Is OCaml used anywhere?

I've only met one OCaml programmer in my life, and they were a graduate student and rather strange.

It's used in a lot of places, including Facebook for Hack and Bloomberg as well as the oft cited Jane Street.
