As an Elixir (which steps on Erlang) and Rust dev I'm curious if you think OCaml 5.0 / Eio will give the Erlang's BEAM VM and Rust's tokio a run for their money in the parallel runtime space.
I'm super curious about OCaml, picked it up and left it several times in the last 3 years. Now that multicore is here I'll absolutely be picking it up again and try to use it for parallel scripting and for some of my work. Great job!
