+platform-independent programs.
+
+Some of the highlights include:
+@itemize
+@item
+A type-safe, multi-threaded event system that's simple to use yet efficient.
+@item
+Timers for periodic events.
+@item
+A @code{datetime} class that not only tracks timestamp but also their accuracy,
+which simplifies dealing with timestamps originating from different sources.
+@item
+Simple process handling for spawning child processes with redirected input and
+output.
