OCaml 5.0.0 release (including multicore and effects)

As an Elixir (which steps on Erlang) and Rust dev I'm curious if you think OCaml 5.0 / Eio will give the Erlang's BEAM VM and Rust's tokio a run for their money in the parallel runtime space.

I'm super curious about OCaml, picked it up and left it several times in the last 3 years. Now that multicore is here I'll absolutely be picking it up again and try to use it for parallel scripting and for some of my work. Great job!

We certainly hope so. You may find Thomas Leonard's talk from last year's workshop interesting: https://watch.ocaml.org/videos/watch/74ece0a8-380f-4e2a-bef5...

The paper we wrote on retrofitting effect handlers: https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.00250 also has some http benchmarks
