+
+⚡ A Simple Language
+
+Focus on debugging your application rather than debugging your programming
+language knowledge.
+@itemize @bullet
+@item No hidden control flow.
+@item No hidden memory allocations.
+@item No preprocessor, no macros.
+@end itemize
+
+⚡ Comptime
+
+A fresh approach to metaprogramming based on compile-time code execution and
+lazy evaluation.
+@itemize @bullet
+@item Call any function at compile-time.
+@item Manipulate types as values without runtime overhead.
+@item Comptime emulates the target architecture.
+@end itemize
+
+⚡ Performance Meets Safety
+
+Write fast, clear code capable of handling all error conditions.
+@itemize @bullet
+@item The language gracefully guides your error handling logic.
+@item Configurable runtime checks help you strike a balance between performance
+and safety guarantees.
+@item Take advantage of vector types to express SIMD instructions portably.
