+- 😌 **Ergonomics**: the ease of writing rules in JavaScript or TypeScript
+- ⚡️ **Performance**: much of the speed of native linters with intelligent caching and native code for bottlenecking operations
-This project might go nowhere.
-It might show some of those ideas to be wrong.
-It might become a real linter.
-Only time will tell.
-
-In the meantime, come talk about it on the [Flint Discord](https://flint.fyi/discord).

+It also brings in several improvements over traditional linter paradigms:
-- **Ergonomics**: the ease of writing rules in JavaScript or TypeScript
-- **Performance**: some of the speed of native linters by parsing and type checking with typescript-go
+- Streamlined configuration: flexible configuration files that still preserve readability
+- Type-aware caching: significantly improving performance when linting changes to large repositories
+- Unified core: promoting popular rules to the core project for easier, more reliable inclusion
