This is a pretty nice step forward to enable OCaml as a general purpose language that supports modern CPU architectures. A good intro here: http://kcsrk.info/ocaml/multicore/2015/05/20/effects-multico...

So, it's still a separate branch? What's notable about this version of ocaml-multicore?

There seems to have been some good work being done on the GC.

Iirc the flambda work had to be integrated with the multicore branch. That must have been some serious effort.
