yes. if you need parallelism, you need to go via the process model. (we did this, but it's quite painful) Anyway, the official road map states something along

Sadly all you said has been confirmed by other people as well. I really like OCaml. It's mind-bogglingly fast and well-made in basically almost every regard I can think of. The lack of proper parallelism nowadays however is a huge NOPE. I know JaneStreet and Inria have a lot of valid usages for it and don't care what the rest of us think but it's very sad to have one of of the highest quality languages and compilers be left to fringe usage of several organisations only. :(
