Comment on Effective Concurrency with Algebraic Effects in Multicore OCaml

Comments

See also the actual roadmap[1] to the OCaml 5.0 - the first version of OCaml with Multicore upstreamed.

Note that OCaml 5.0 focuses on minimal (solid) support for the multicore runtime system, and will not provide stable user-facing concurrency and parallelism libraries.

Wouldn't hold my breath

Progress + report on OCaml multicore has been exceptionally well done for many months [0]? Quite big piece of work, impressive to see it materialising as general public availablity. I wouldn't be worried about higher level abstrations at this stage. Well done runtime part is the most important now.
