Thankfully, like many other languages that rather combine models instead of going full speed into affine types, OCaml is getting both.
Besides the effects type system initially introduced to support multicore OCaml, Jane Street is sponsoring the work for explicit stack allocation, unboxed types, modal types.
See their YouTube channel.
Yeah, I have watched a couple of videos and read blog posts from Jane Street. They are helping OCaml a lot!
