Does anyone know what are the main new features of Ocaml 5.0?
- octachron 4y agoEssentially, OCaml 5.0 is OCaml 4.14 with a fully rewritten runtime which introduces support for parallelism (no more global runtime lock) and an experimental version of algebraic effects.
- amelius 4y ago> no more global runtime lock Perhaps Python devs should consider transpiling to OCaml ;)
- giraffe_lady 4y agoThe naming potential is incredible at least.
