 ## About
 
-`brush` (Born RUsty SHell) is a shell implementation with
-aspirations of compatibility with the [POSIX Shell specification](https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html) as well as with [bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/).
-It's generally functional for interactive use and can
-execute many simple to medium complexity scripts, but it's
-still very much an incomplete work in progress.
