+      Aldor is a programming language with an expressive type system well-suited
+      for mathematical computing and which has been used to develop a number of
+      computer algebra libraries. Originally known as A#, Aldor was conceived as
+      an extension language for the Axiom system, but is now used more in other settings.
+      In Aldor, types and functions are first class values that can be constructed
+      and manipulated within programs. Pervasive support for dependent types allows
+      static checking of dynamic objects. What does this mean for a normal user? Aldor
+      solves many difficulties encountered in widely-used object-oriented programming
+      languages. It allows programs to use a natural style, combining the more attractive
+      and powerful properties of functional, object-oriented and aspect-oriented styles.
