goboscript is a text-based programming language that compiles to Scratch. Write
-Scratch projects in text, and compile it into a `.sb3` file -- which can be opened
-in the Scratch editor, TurboWarp or be uploaded to the Scratch website.
-
-goboscript makes developing advanced Scratch projects FAST. goboscript syntax is
-concise and easy to read. Use a version-control system such as git. Use VS Code
-or your favourite text-editor. Share code by copy-pasting. Use the standard library.
-Refactor code using search and replace. Write scripts in other programming languages
-to generate goboscript code. goboscript allows you to integrate external tooling and
-workflows, such as using a script to generate costumes for a text rendering engine,
-or loading in images into lists. goboscript has a powerful macro system similar to C.
-The standard library includes many macros for frequently used patterns, such as
-converting R, G, B values into a single integer. goboscript performs optimization,
-removes unused code, and detects problems & mistakes.
-
-goboscript is more than just an 1:1 mapping of Scratch blocks to text, it has
-abstractions such as:
-
-- Custom data-types using Structs and Enums.
-- Functions that return values
-- Default parameters for Functions & Procedures
-- Operators such as: `!=`, `>=`, `<=`, `//` (Floor division), `not in`
-- Local variables (Function-scoped)
-- and more...
-
-All these abstractions are compiled down to regular Scratch code.

+goboscript makes developing advanced Scratch projects fast. The syntax is concise

+modern tooling:
+
+- Version control with git.
+- Any editor you like -- VS Code, or your favourite text editor.
+- Sharing code by copy-pasting.
+- Refactoring with search and replace.
+- Code generation -- write scripts in other languages that emit goboscript.
