academic for CS maybe. Not so much for chemistry, biology etc. If you work in computation areas of those subjects you are more likely to know matlab, R, python and maybe Julia.

I didn't know of anybody who had done any Lisp or Ocaml in my time in academia (in chemistry, chemical engineering and biology departments), but that's just 3 universities, and i certainly didn't know everybody.

I've known people who write OCaml for biology, but they sure looked lonely :)
