I have no idea, but I've just upvoted you back to 1. If someone knows more / better please post here and explain rather than anonymously downvote, which doesn't explain anything to anyone.

[edit: ah, ok, to expand on what 45g said, ocaml is used to build the tools, but anything that targets the HLVM will end up using LLVM for runtime code generation - so it will either compile to assembly, or use a JIT VM. either way, any limitations in ocaml will only affect the tools, not the final compiled program]

Ah, now I see. So this will get around the true multi-threading issues. Thank you both for the clarification. This is truly something to watch.
