 # The Rust Programming Language
 
-Rust is a fast systems programming language that guarantees
-memory safety and offers painless concurrency ([no data races]).
-It does not employ a garbage collector and has minimal runtime overhead.
+This is the main source code repository for [Rust]. It contains the compiler, standard library,
+and documentation.
 
-This repo contains the code for the compiler (`rustc`), as well
-as standard libraries, tools and documentation for Rust.
