Certainly, but there are circumstances - say high-performance math & data heavy stuff - that benefits greatly from a shared memory implementation.
And the ease of use of multi-process architectures needs to be improved as well.
- pnathan 15y agoThe common case of parallelism is usually fine with process/message passing work IMO. For the other 20% of the time... threads are awesome. :)
- avsm2 15y agoNote that OCaml is just fine for heavy math and data stuff: the garbage collector has a global lock, but threads work just fine for CPU intensive activities. Just don't generate much garbage (which is important for any data-heavy processing), and all is good.
