>if you write applications which expose some sort of API over a socket that will scale to clusters, not just multicore

And it will be way slower for all those use cases where I don't need to scale to clusters. Or where it won't actually scale to clusters because I need shared memory, the latency to ask another node is simply too high. I had to move to haskell specifically because of ocaml's "who cares about multicore" stance.
