I haven't heard anyone talk about STM for OCaml, funny. People talk about, or work on, lightweight fibers, lockfree data structures, io_uring, etc. but not STM. Is it falling out of fashion? Even in clojure I hear that few people actually use it.

It works great in Haskell. The problem is that it really needs typed effects, hopefully OCaml will get typed algebraic effects at some point.
