There was http://www.ocamljava.org/ around 2015 but there wasn't enough interest to keep the project going.

A fascinating project currently in development is Caramel, a BEAM VM (Erlang) back-end to the OCaml compiler: https://github.com/AbstractMachinesLab/caramel

I heard some random researcher from Microsoft asked about that on the OCaml mailing list in 2001 [1]. I think it led nowhere [2].

Well i think, eventually it became F#, which is a different language, but this is what I understood from the parts I read from "The Early History of the F# Language, camera ready, HOPL-IV (PDF)" https://fsharp.org/history/

Yes. That suggestion has been brought up often.
