+    longDescription = ''
+      The main idea behind babashka is to leverage Clojure in places where you 
+      would be using bash otherwise.
+
+      As one user described it:
+
+          I’m quite at home in Bash most of the time, but there’s a substantial 
+          grey area of things that are too complicated to be simple in bash, but 
+          too simple to be worth writing a clj/s script for. Babashka really 
+          seems to hit the sweet spot for those cases.
+
+    Goals:
+
+    - Low latency Clojure scripting alternative to JVM Clojure.
+    - Easy installation: grab the self-contained binary and run. No JVM needed.
+    - Familiarity and portability:
+      - Scripts should be compatible with JVM Clojure as much as possible
+      - Scripts should be platform-independent as much as possible. Babashka 
+        offers support for linux, macOS and Windows.
+    - Allow interop with commonly used classes like java.io.File and System
+    - Multi-threading support (pmap, future, core.async)
+    - Batteries included (tools.cli, cheshire, ...)
+    - Library support via popular tools like the clojure CLI
