[cothreads-discuss] First Post?

[Erik de C. L. <mle...@me...>]

Hi all,

First off I'd like to say Zheng Li for CoThreads. I've looked at
JoCaml, CamlP3l and a couple of others concurrency addons for 
Ocaml, and so far CoThreads seems the best (or at least has the
lowest barrier for entry).

A couple of comments:

  - The mailing list should be easier to find out about. I only
    found it after digging around on the wiki and postint two
    comments to it.

  - I see the license is GPLv2. I was wondering if that could be
    changed to LGPL with the linking exception like the license for
    the Ocaml standard library and many other ocaml libraries. This 
    would allow people to use coThreads to write closed source 
    commercial applications using CoThreads in Ocaml. 

  - Currently, the example programs can't be compile unless the 
    CoThreads library is installed first. This makes it hard for 
    people just having a look to run the examples. It would be much
    nicer if the examples could all link against the libraries in 
    the tarball/svn checkout.

Cheers,
Erik
