-LPython is a Python compiler that aims to provide optimized machine code by compiling type-annotated Python code. It offers several backends, including LLVM, C, C++, and WASM, which allow it to generate code into multiple target languages simultaneously. LPython's main focus is on speed and performance, and it achieves this through various features and optimizations.
+LPython aggressively optimizes type-annotated Python code. It has several
+backends, including LLVM, C, C++, and WASM. LPython’s primary tenet is speed.
 
-LPython is in alpha stage (meaning it is expected that it can break when you
-use it and that you will find bugs --- please report them!) and will evolve
-further to encompass more extensive Python code and additional optimizations.

+LPython is in alpha stage (meaning users enthusiastically participate in bug
+reporting and fixing). LPython will compile more of Python in the future, and
+accumulate more optimizations, experimental and production-ready. LPython makes
+it easy to write new back-ends for custom, exotic, or unusual hardware.
