I don't like the intro page of the documentation.

Here is a suggested change to the first page of the documentation:
OpenEuphoria is...fast | flexible | friendly...the programming language with great features.
- Accelerate your programming.
- Euphoria programs run faster than conventional interpreted languages; Euphoria programs can be even faster after compiling. The power and simplicity of Euphoria makes rapid program development a reality.
- Accommodate you needs.
- Euphoria gives you flexibility and power. Euphoria is a general purpose, versatile, multi-gui, portable, and multi-platform. Develop programs quickly using the interpreter. Compile programs and produce independent applications for distribution. Write at a high level and yet interface to C. Unique simplified data handling requires only atoms/sequences. The standard library provides plenty of utility. Euphoria speed does not compromise subscript checking, uninitialized variable checking, garbage collection, and numerous other run-time checks.
- Accomplish more.
- Euphoria is small and friendly: easy to read, easy to learn, and easy to use. Atoms/sequences are higher level and easier to use than conventional data-types. Write code the way you want with simple English words and freeform layout. Euphoria is responsive and gives useful error messages when you need them. Euphoria is supported with GUI libraries, tracing, testing, documentation tools, editing choices, sample programs, and a helpful forum. Euphoria is free and open source and actively being developed.
- Yes, it is true.
- Euphoria users are understandably enthusiastic. With little effort you can confirm, for yourself, that Euphoria is an exceptional programming language. To learn more about Euphoria just try it out--download one 12MB file, install quickly on Windows, Unix (Linux, BSD, ...), or OS X, and get a ready to use programming environment with documentation and sample programs.
- Benchmarking to show that Euphoria programs execute faster than Python, Perl, Ruby, and PHP.
- Examples to illustrate the flexibility of Euphoria.
- Easy-to-learn and easy-to-program illustrated; a language that is simple, small, consistent, and predictable.
The most useful comments would be unfettered, even brutal, ...
I welcome your ideas
Tom
