O'Caml is heading in that direction. Jane Street are adding more control over memory layout and allocation, and multicore finally arrived recently.

Lol there's no apostrophe in OCaml - it's not an Irish name like, say, O'Brian.

You're rude and you're ignorant of OCaml's history. There is no apostrophe in OCaml now, but there used to be. E.g. https://web.archive.org/web/20050207032955/http://www.ocaml....

OCaml is / was short for Objective Caml. Hence the name used to have an apostrophe. At some point that was dropped.
