Nice to see FB investing so much in OCaml, hope it is not just a phase like how they did with D

And I sure hope Parallel OCaml gets done

I believe I saw a video for Yaron Minsky (jane street, real world ocaml), where he said that two areas where ocaml can improve is parallelism and having a nice GUI Library

Not sure of the full time line but they hired Andrei Alexandrescu after he started working on D, and he was pretty open about using D at Facebook.
