+## What is Parenscript?
+Parenscript is a translator from an extended subset of Common Lisp to
+JavaScript. Parenscript code can run almost identically on both the
+browser (as JavaScript) and server (as Common Lisp).
+
+Parenscript code is treated the same way as Common Lisp code, making
+the full power of Lisp macros available for JavaScript. This provides
+a web development environment that is unmatched in its ability to
+reduce code duplication and provide advanced metaprogramming
+facilities to web developers.
+
+## Installation
+```lisp
+(ql:quickload :parenscript)
+```
+or download the [latest release](https://common-lisp.net/project/parenscript/release/parenscript-latest.tgz)
+
+## Documentation
+* [Reference Manual](https://common-lisp.net/project/parenscript/reference.html)
+* [Tutorial](https://common-lisp.net/project/parenscript/tutorial.html)
+
+## What's the difference?
+
+At the same time, Parenscript is different from almost all other
+"language X" to JavaScript translators in that it imposes almost no
+overhead:
+
+##### No runtime dependencies
+  Any piece of Parenscript code is runnable as-is. There are no 
+  JavaScript files to include.
+
+
+##### Native types
+  Parenscript works entirely with native JavaScript datatypes. There
+  are no new types introduced, and object prototypes are not
+  touched.
+
+##### Native calling convention
+  Any JavaScript code can be called without the need for
+  bindings. Likewise, Parenscript can be used to make efficient,
+  self-contained JavaScript libraries.
+
+##### Readable code
+  Parenscript generates concise, formatted, idiomatic JavaScript
+  code. Identifier names are preserved. This enables seamless
+  debugging in tools like Firebug.
+
+##### Efficiency
+  Parenscript introduces minimal overhead for advanced Common Lisp
+  features. The generated code is almost as fast as hand-written
+  JavaScript.
