Effective Concurrency with Algebraic Effects in Multicore OCaml

Algebraic effects and handlers provide a modular abstraction for expressing effectful computation, allowing the programmer to separate the expression of an effectful computation from its implementation. In this post, I will present an extension to OCaml for programming with linear algebraic effects, and demonstrate its use in expressing concurrency primitives for multicore OCaml. The design and implementation of algebraic effects for multicore OCaml is due to Leo White, Stephen Dolan and the multicore team at OCaml Labs.

I’m excited for algebraic effects in multicore ocaml, lol.

Sadly its been a long-time coming though.
