-T3X is a very basic procedural language. Its syntax is a cross
-between Pascal and BCPL, but it is smaller and simpler.
-Unlike many popular languages, T3X does not provide a very
-abstract and complex environment to achieve portability, but
-only a set of very basic operations and built-in routines which
+T3X is a minimum procedural language. It is small, portable,
+procedural, block-structured, recursive, almost typeless,
+and to some degree object-oriented.
+Its syntax is a cross between Pascal and BCPL, but it is smaller
+and simpler. Portability is achieved by simplicity: only a set
+of very basic operations and built-in routines is provided, which
may be easily implemented on a variety of different platforms.
