Is the OOP design for ATS available somewhere to read? I would be
curious about the implications of it.

Nevertheless, my current biggest concerns of ATS are:

- concurrent GC
- it's syntax

I still find ATS's syntax too funky compared to *ML or Haskell.
The type annotations are taxing to read throughout the code. Maybe
Haskell set the bar too high for be, but I feel like ATS could use some
syntactic sugar here and there.
