-newLISP is a Lisp-like, general-purpose scripting language. It has all the
-magic of traditional Lisp but is easier to learn and use. newLISP is
-friendly, fast, and small. Most of the functions you will ever need are
-already built in. newLISP runs on most operating systems.
+newLISP is a Lisp-like, general-purpose scripting language. It is
+especially well-suited for applications in AI, simulation, natural
+language processing, big data, machine learning and statistics.
+Because of its small resource requirements, newLISP is excellent for
+embedded systems applications. Most of the functions you will ever
+need are already built in. This includes networking functions,
+support for distributed and multicore processing, and Bayesian
+statistics.
