> I'm curious about what design decisions lead to OCaml not having Multi-threading when version 1.0 came out You do know that C (edit - didn't have multithreading in the language spec until C11, right?) It was common on languages of that era. Also Ocaml has had libraries for multithreading for many years, just like C has POSIX threads and things...

I thought C11 had threads and atomic and concurrency primitives?

  Ah yeah my bad. Still like 30+ years after it's creation though. And the vast majority of C software out there doesn't use C11 anyway.
