# The devel/ocaml-lwt port

## ocaml-lwt-2.4.4 – cooperative lightweight thread library

## Description

    Lwt provides very light-weight cooperative threads for OCaml;
    ``launching'' a thread is a very fast operation, it does not require
    a new stack, a new process, or anything else. Moreover context
    switches are very fast. In fact, it is so easy that a thread can
    be launched for every system call. And composing cooperative threads
    will allow highly asynchronous programs.
