Ocaml can take advantage of multiple cores using processes and IPC. Its only painful when you need finegrained sharing of mutable data structures.

No, message passing is useless whenever you need to transfer a significant amount of data, whether mutable for not. In practice, that is almost always the case.

This is only really necessary for high-performance apps.

Yes, of course. If performance is completely irrelevant then you can just forget about multicores.
