Great writeup and it looks like an excellent tool. We'll definitely give it a try. Parallelization is really hard to get right and any tools that can help are much appreciated.

Glad to hear that - and do contact me (Yossi.Kreinin@gmail.com) if anything goes wrong, or if you need a feature. It's working very smoothly for us, to the point where nobody is worried about parallelism bugs any more - but while it's basically the same approach, the code itself is new, so I could have new bugs in there as well.

  Would you mind adding a license to the code (e.g., Apache 2.0)? GitHub's TOS says that without one, code is considered "all rights reserved" -- putting any users on shaky legal ground. Very cool (and practical!) project though.

    My README.md says the code is "free" as in "do whatever you want with it" - isn't it good enough? As in, does the license have to be in some specially-named file or what-not?

      Unfortunately, I don't think "do whatever you want with it" is specific enough for the lawyers of the world ;) The license doesn't need to be a specially-named file, though most people use something sensible like 'license.txt' or 'LICENSE'. For example, here's one of my in-progress hobby projects: https://github.com/jack-pappas/fsharp-tools https://github.com/jack-pappas/fsharp-tools The Apache 2.0 license is a "do whatever you want with it" license (i.e., a permissive license).

        OK; I kind of thought WTFPL was a good enough license and mine was pretty much similar except for the F part. Since I got 3 different people asking for a license, I might as well find one. I'd like something really permissive that also lets you strip the thing and doesn't have to be at the top of every file and doesn't require to give credit... Something that lets you do whatever you want to.

        OK, so I picked the 2-clause FreeBSD license for brevity; hope this helps.
