What's the OCaml community's perception on when multicore will fully land in trunk?

My understanding is that 4.14 is scheduled for Q1 2022 and 5.0 with multicore _might_ be released roughly in parallel.

Are there any benchmarks? Comparisons to other multicore runtimes, like GoLang's?

I remember seeing a graph where http/af, a http server, was close to Go net/http. I'll try to run https://github.com/ocaml-multicore/retro-httpaf-bench and report back. I also found another graph, but I'm too colorblind to read it properly https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/554131/131155247-f....

Edit: the benchmark fails to build

Yes, check out https://watch.ocaml.org/videos/watch/playlist/7a4ad26a-b8c5-... for some interesting comparisons.
