On “Golang's Real-time GC in Theory and Practice (OCaml outperforms Go)”

It's being worked on by some people. See, for example, https://github.com/ocamllabs/ocaml-multicore and link to this video There isn't an estimated completion date yet as far as I know.

On “Understanding and Expressing Scalable Concurrency [PDF]”

This is Aaron Turon's PhD thesis. You might recognize Aaron's name; he has been a long time contributor to Rust. I was prompted to start reading this based on the recent post about Concurrent ML. A smaller paper focusing on reagents is Reagents: Expressing and Composing Fine-grained Concurrency. Reagents are making their way into OCaml. (slides, talk, docs)

On “Michael Sperber - Concurrent ML - The One That Got Away - Code Mesh 2017”

Extra: Towards the end of the talk he mentions Reagents (paper) which caught my interest. [LDN Functionals #8 KC Sivaramakrishnan: OCaml multicore and programming with Reagents] Here is a talk on them from 2016. I wonder how work on this is going on? Apart from this little bit in the context of Ocaml from 4 years ago, I could not find anything else. The code shown in the paper is in Scala, but I could not find a Reagents library on the JVM, nor .NET for that matter. I am definitely curious what programming with them would be like. Edit: For completeness, Aaron Turon's thesis thread.
