If William Chester is right with his guessing and Max Skaller wants
to use threads in ocamnl to handle thousands of concurrent phone calls,
then I would really go for hardware threads *with* ocaml. I would think
about how to translate (a subset of) ocaml into vhdl and put my program
into a fpga. I thought about such things some time ago and consider it
possible within reasonable time.
