Subject: Re: [Caml-list] Efficient OCaml multicore -- roadmap?

Hey everyone, I wrote up a short review of the paper "Efficient  
Parallel Programming in Poly/ML and Isabelle/ML" which discusses how  
multicore support was added to Poly/ML.  I am not an expert so if I  
got details wrong please correct me but the hope is Poly/ML's story  
might be helpful for Ocaml.
