(description
- "A modular composable concurrency abstraction.")
+ "Software Transactional Memory, or STM, is an abstraction for concurrent
+communication. The main benefits of STM are composability and modularity.
+That is, using STM you can write concurrent abstractions that can be easily
+composed with any other abstraction built using STM, without exposing the
+details of how your abstraction ensures safety. This is typically not the
+case with other forms of concurrent communication, such as locks or
+@code{MVar}s.")
