I whole heartedly agree with you on the convenience of go routines. I haven't been following the ocaml concurrency sorry; are they implementing a similar concurrency model?



Multicore OCaml comes with native support for concurrency through algebraic effect handlers which generalize common control flow abstractions such as exceptions, async/await, generators, non-determinism, backtracking. All of these mechanisms can be implemented directly in OCaml. [0] introduces the model, [1,2] has examples, and for further reading see [3].
