(I work on Multicore OCaml) Multicore OCaml separates the notion of concurrency (overlapped execution) and parallelism (simultaneous execution). You can have one without the other but also have both. The main principle that we're going for is that the compiler should expose just enough support for concurrency and parallelism such that interesting features can live outside the compiler as libraries. This permits the library evolution not to be tied with the language evolution but also permits diversity of libraries beyond what the language developers can aim to achieve. That said, we will build and maintain a few core libraries for concurrency and parallelism. For concurrency, Multicore OCaml exposes effect handlers [1,2,3] which allows you to build generators, async/await, coroutines, etc as library functions (as opposed to primitives nat

ively supported by the compiler). For example, have a look at aeio [4] which permits the construction of scalable asynchronous I/O in direct-style (no callbacks). aeio is also discussed in [1]. We also plan to extend Lwt to support parallelism. For parallelism, the compiler exposes Domains, which are a wrapper over OS-threads [5]. Domains expose a low-level API that is not suitable for end user consumption. On top of domains, we support channels with bounded buffers [6] (similar to channels in Go, Mvars in GHC Haskell) as well as software transactional memory (STM) that supports shared memory and message passing concurrency and which can take advantage of hardware transactional memory [7].
