 Machinarium allows to create fast networked and event-driven asynchronous applications<br>
 in synchronous/procedural manner instead of using traditional callback approach.
 
-The library is based on using and combining pthreads(7) and efficient<br>
-cooperative multi-tasking primitives (coroutines). Each coroutine executed using own stack<br>
