Abstract
This is part 3 of 5 of a series of posts <sup> [1] </sup> about ICFP 2025. It's been about six years since we wrote the papers on parallelism and effects, and four years since we helped to release upstream OCaml 5.0 with multicore support, a mammoth effort that took up years of work for my OCaml Labs and Tarides crew.
