Outdated information in the "Future of OCaml" page

[ColourGrey]

A Google search for "future of ocaml" led me to the "Future of OCaml" page on OCamlverse. While I know nothing about the development of OCaml, it seems that much of the information therein is outdated. For instance:

• the "best fit" allocator seems to have already been implemented, so it's not in the future anymore;
• what was then presented as the development branch of Flambda 2.0 has received that last commit in November 2019;
• work in typed algebraic effects was said to be going on at https://github.com/lpw25/ocaml-typed-effects; a quick look at that repository shows the last change performed to be from June 2018.

I believe that somebody knowledgeable in the status of OCaml development should filter the information on that page, remove what has become outdated and add the true future development directions.

Algebraic effects are still being quite actively worked on, as is flambda 2. I'm not sure where they're being worked on.

Now OCaml 5.0 had been released and 5.1 is approaching by the way...

• Flambda 2: https://github.com/ocaml-flambda/flambda-backend along with the Cfg backend (I have no idea on the Cfg backend, though...)
• Algebraic effects: some has landed in 5.0, leaving https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pull/12309
• Modes (introduction articles part 1 and part 2) being implemented in the Jane Street's development tree may be good candidate for new topic on the page.
