I know that Caml team wanted to see if many-core shared-memory systems were going to stick around before bothering with Caml development that takes advantage of them.
Well, it looks like they are here to stay, after all: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13924_3-9981760-64.html As much as I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth, and I think Caml has been a great and grossly underappreciated product, I need to see if writing Caml is a viable code investment for the coming years or something like Haskell, SML, F# or even Ada will be a better long-term alternative. Are there plans to make Caml threads OS-native threads, or add OpenMP-style primitives, or otherwise support multiple CPU cores? And if so, roughly in what time frame? _______________________________________________ Caml-list mailing list.
