There was a loooong thread ;) about this on the list lately: http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2007-08/msg00267.html Colin kirjoitti 24.10.2007 kello 19:45:
Hi, while most of Lua is rather consistent with respect to itself (which is good), there is one place where I feel that there is something that would benefit from a changed: The type of the object returned by coroutine.create should be called "coroutine", not "thread". I would find it more consistent to not speak of threads in the context of coroutines; this would also "free" the word "thread" for use in a "real" threading library, etc. Regards, Colin
