-#+TITLE: 8sync: an asynchronous programming library for Guile
-
-8sync (pronounced "eight-sync") is an asynchronous programming library
-for [[https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/][GNU Guile]].
-
-Some features:
- - An asynchronous event loop!  Non-blocking on ports and file access.
- - Easy to use!  The =%sync= / =8sync= operator lets you write
-   asynchronous code that looks simple while avoiding callback hell.
-   This happens through the magic of [[https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Prompts.html][delimited continuations]].
-   ([[https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Shift-and-Reset.html#Shift-and-Reset][Hence the %]]!)
- - Provides building blocks on which you can build other asynchronous
-   frameworks or paradigms on top of it (some of which will be
-   included in the future), like:
-   - an actor model implementation
-   - the propagator model
-   - web frameworks
-   - your very heart's desire!
-
-* How do I use it?
-
-Hey, I ought to get some docs up, right?
-
-* License
-
-Everything in here is LGPL v3 or later, as published by the Free
-Software Foundation, with exceptions below:
-
- - Some autotools related files are under the GPL v3 or later in the
-   toplevel directory (their headers will say).  I guess if you
-   compile things using them, maybe this project becomes GPL v3 or
-   later?  I don't think so because the build tools themselves aren't
-   linked, but I can't be sure.  If you really care, consider this
-   whole project GPL v3 or later optionally... anyway a
-   COPYING-gplv3.txt is included for these reasons.
