+Wren is a *small, clean, fast, class-based scripting language.* Think Smalltalk
+in a Lua-sized package.
+
+    :::java
+    io.write("Hello, world!")
+
+    class Wren {
+      adjectives = ["small", "clean", "fast"]
+      languageType {
+        "scripting"
+      }
+    }
+
+ *  **Wren is small.** The codebase stays under 5,000 semicolons to keep the
+    language and libraries small enough to fit in your head. You can skim the
+    whole thing in one sitting.
+
+ *  **Wren is clean.** The codebase is *small*, but not *dense*. It is readable
+    and lovingly-commented. It's written in warning-free standard C99.
+
+ *  **Wren is fast.** Wren has a fast single-pass compiler, tight bytecode, and
+    a compact object representation.
+
+ *  **Wren is class-based.** There are lots of scripting languages out there,
+    but many have unusual or non-existent object models. Wren places
+    classes front and center.
+
+ *  **Wren is a scripting language.** Wren is intended for embedding in
+    applications. It has no dependencies, a small standard library,
+    and an easy-to-use C API.
