"execution" #1334

Closed shriram closed 6 years ago

shriram commented 6 years ago

The phrase "Show program execution trace" is poorly chosen. We should not use the word "execution". It's an emotionally loaded word with negative connotations.

Do you have a less fraught term to suggest, that you'd be satisfied using without compromising the intended meaning here?

I think “evaluation” works

Can we use "run" instead? "Show trace of the program's run"? "evaluation" is not bad either.

+1 for evaluation
