-The NSL (The New Scripting Language) is a scripting language intended
-primarily for processing text documents in various input formats and in
-various languages. It is being developed as to be as light-weight as possible,
-however, providing a possibility to solve a wide range of tasks. It can be
-used as a stand-alone tool, as well as a CGI engine. It is not intended to be
-embeddable like Tcl, but since the interpreter is very compact, it can be
-attached to an application without great overhead.
+Tensile is a brand-new programming languages designed especially
+for complex processing texts in SGML-like formats. Its key feature
+is the notion of finite-state automata used for defining text
+transformations. Tensile has been designed, too, for Web programming,
+so it has inherent CGI capabilities.
 
-The NSL should be easy to learn. Its syntax is much simplier than that of perl
-or even awk and is more like Tcl or csh. It has, however, some peculiarities
-in syntax, as well as in programming techniques, so it would probably require
-some time to get accustomed to.
-
-However, the NSL is not a quick-development language. Its core does not and
-shall not include 'complete solutions'. Inspite of its rather high level, it
-should be regarded as a toolbox by the means of which a programmer may
-implement what he wants. Only such approach (IMHO) may allow to keep the
-language small, efficient, easy both to learn and to use.
+Tensile is an exTENSIbLE language which means that (a) pluggable
+modules are supported and (b) user-defined and predefined entities
+are mostly treated in the same way.
