... to the language which lacks multi-threading

Low effort post? Even though multithreading isn't relevant to the ARM64 work: for the first time in a long time, I think we can see a serious Ocaml multicore in the practical future, not the perennial "some day, maybe." You can already try the pools/futures part of the new multicore implementation, it's the algebraic effects part that is still outstanding -- see:

https://github.com/prismlab/parallel-programming-in-multicor...

It should land pretty soon I imagine.
Ocaml has multithreading support now though (it was merged recently iirc)
Not yet, but it's being prepared to merge.
