> With concurrency sorted out

The last time I looked at this (~ 2 years ago), there were a few efforts to solve this, but they all had lots of caveats and none were generally accepted as the solution. Has there been any progress since?

I tried to solve a performance issue with OCaml, and the lack of concurrency and librairies were too limiting.



There is a multicore runtime in progress, with an ETA of "when it's done".


Multi-core addresses parallelism, concurrency is a whole different can of worms.


Fair point. For concurrency, you have lwt and Core.Async. Lwt is fairly nice, haven't tried Core.Async. I'll point out that "there is no parallelism" is one of the traditional complaints about OCaml, not "there is no solution for concurrency".
