Effectful concurrency feels so different from the async/await model I'm used to, but I'm really looking forward to playing around with it when OCaml 5 drops. Does anybody here have a more "ELI5" tier guide to it?
Thanks for the links, that was a very succinct talk and made me excited to try it out. Just one follow-up question: the 4.12+domains branch doesn't include support for the try syntax for handling effects, correct?
Correct. The 4.12+domains branch has effect handlers without syntactic support (which is what will be in 5.0), the 4.12+domains+effects has the syntax.
Also you can start playing with effects today using the 4.12+domains branch on https://github.com/ocaml-multicore/ocaml-multicore
