--- Begin Message ---Source: lwt Version: 2.4.3-4 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch The package descriptions for the lwt packages have some trivial non-native-English-speakerisms. > Description: cooperative light-weight thread library for OCaml (runtime) (Normally I'd recommend saying "light-weight cooperative threading library", but presumably "Light-Weight Threads" is the canonical expansion of "Lwt", so I'll leave the synopsis lines alone.) > Lwt is a library of cooperative threads implemented in monadic style. ^^ ^ There's a missing article before that last noun phrase. Also, a library *of* cooperative threads would be one that *uses* cooperative threading. You mean: Lwt is a library for cooperative threads implemented in a monadic style. > With respect to preemptive threads, cooperative threads are not using ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You don't mean "with respect to"; you just mean "in contrast to" or simply "unlike". And "are not" is a grammar error - it should be: Unlike preemptive threads, cooperative threads do not use > a scheduler to distribute processor time between threads. Instead of ^^ > this [...] ^^^^ The "of this" is redundant; you can just say "Instead, ..." > [...] each thread must tell the others that he wants to let them ^^ > work. The main reason I'm picking on this package description rather than all the other not-fantastically-good-English package descriptions out there is that even when anthropomorphised to the point of having things they want to talk to one another about, threads are not male. each thread must tell the others that it wants to let them work. But is this true anyway? Surely the first thread doesn't send a message to all the others - it's just: each thread must announce that it wants to let the others run. Or I could probably say it more concisely if I used the word "yield", but then I would end up changing a lot more than is really necessary. > . > This package contains runtime libraries for programs using core Lwt.
