To qualify my original statement much later, I was told offhand by people Ocaml's multi-core processor/SMP limitations continue to exist (I know Jane Street actually is putting up money to change this) because the license of Ocaml prohibited people from making any other forked implementation of Ocaml itself. Thus, it has been single-core only for many years later, because Xavier and the core team did not think SMP implementation was a priority, and have not been asked since.
Granted, I very seemingly little about this. So I could be very mistaken. Can some confirm I am wrong? I am sure someone here has far more detail than me generalized nonsense.
