OCaml Multicore Monthly: systhreads compatibility merged (via OCaml.org) / Aug 2020
The big advance in the multicore OCaml branch is that we restored compatibility with the traditional OCaml systhreads. This in turn means that many existing software packages just work out of the box on the new runtime.
Big news this month is that the systhreads compatibility support PR has been merged, which means that Dune (and other users of the Thread module) can compile out of the box. You can now compile the multicore OCaml fork conveniently using the new opam compiler plugin (see announcement). -- me, on the discussion forum
