           Lingua Franca is the first reactor-oriented coordination language.
           It allows you to specify reactive components and compose them.
-          The Lingua Franca semantics eliminate race conditions by construction and provides a sophisticated model of time that includes a notion of simultaneity that is clear and precise.
+          Lingua Franca eliminates race conditions by construction, makes it easy to specify timed behavior, and removes the need to perform manual synchronization.

-          Consider a game of "rock paper scissors" where two players need to reveal their choice at the same instant. Not only is this implementation in Lingua Franca simple and intuitive, it is guaranteed to be fair. If the Player class were to observe the other's choice before revealing its own, Lingua Franca's causality analysis would find a causality loop and tell you that the program was invalid.
