I haven't done anything with OCaml other than compiling Unison, so
didn't realize they had gone this route.

Re join-calculus vs π-calculus, I have no direct experience, but I
suspect that it will be like actors and dataflow and CSP: each can be
realized in one of the others, but if you want things to be efficient
you realize them separately.
