+Snap is an optionally typed object oriented language with first class functions and coroutines.
+It borrows concepts and constructs from many sources including JavaScript, Swift, Java, and 
+Scala amongst others. It is interpreted and has no intermediate representation, so there is 
+no need to compile or build your application.
 
 The interpreter has been built from the ground up, no tools or libraries have been used. As a result the
 project is small, fully self contained, and can easily be embedded or run as a standalone application.
