Will this always be a compiler extension, or is intended to be an evolution of the language?

  It’s not a compiler extension. It’s currently a fork of the compiler and patches are slowly being upstreamed.

    Should people write programs differently than before, or just use existing concurrency constructs and things will execute with better parallelism?

      There will be some new differences. Multicore is bringing in some new concepts–e.g. domains (an abstraction for system threads). Perhaps down the road the existing concurrent programming libraries like Lwt will abstract all that away and preserve their existing interfaces. Remains to be seen.
