# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.

chuck: ChucK presents a new time-based, concurrent programming model that's
chuck: highly precise and expressive (we call this strongly-timed), as well

chuck: on-the-fly. In addition, ChucK supports MIDI, OSC, HID device, and
chuck: multi-channel audio. It's fun and easy to learn, and offers composers,
chuck: researchers, and performers a powerful programming tool for building
