[...] Not especially for multicore, but for parallel programming, this might be of interest: http://camlp3l.inria.fr/eng.htm (To mention this by me also is recurrent, as the thread we are in...) Ciao, Oliver P.S.: During the last multicore discussion, I found that link, but had not tried OCamlp3l. Now I think I will have more time and motivation and it could be compiled and installed without any problems with OCaml 3.10.2.
