eioio -- effects based parallel IO for OCaml

This library implements an effects-based direct-style IO stack for multicore OCaml.

The library is very much a work-in-progress, so this is an unreleased repository.

Some background about the effects system can be found in:

• "Retrofitting Concurrency onto OCaml" (to appear, PLDI 2021)

• Effects examples: https://github.com/ocaml-multicore/effects-examples/tree/master/aio
• Concurrent System Programming with Effect Handlers
• Asynchronous effect based IO using effect handlers
