+      Manticore is a high-level parallel programming language aimed at
+      general-purpose applications running on multi-core
+      processors. Manticore supports parallelism at multiple levels:
+      explicit concurrency and coarse-grain parallelism via CML-style
+      constructs and fine-grain parallelism via various light-weight
+      notations, such as parallel tuple expressions and NESL/Nepal-style
+      parallel array comprehensions.
