I'm also a Haskeller, and have been writing OCaml for a few months. Some things I liked include (1) really straightforward imperative programming (2) really straightforward mutable data structures like hash tables (3) module system (sort of like typeclasses but much more expressive) (4) named parameters (5) easy-to-understand/straightforward assembly (6) eager by default

Agree with everything you said, and I'd also add polymorphic variants. I too am a Haskeller now writing mostly Ocaml. I view the two languages as cousins. Both have great features the other doesn't. Both are worth learning and using.
