## Hope is a small, fast, class-based concurrent scripting language
Think Smalltalk in a Lua-sized package with a dash of Erlang and wrapped up in
a familiar, modern [syntax][].
```dart
System.print("Hello, world!")
class Hope {
flyTo(city) {
System.print("Flying to %(city)")
}
}
var adjectives = Fiber.new {
["small", "clean", "fast"].each {|word| Fiber.yield(word) }
}
while (!adjectives.isDone) System.print(adjectives.call())
```
* **Hope is small.** The VM implementation is under [4,000 semicolons][src].
You can skim the whole thing in an afternoon. It's *small*, but not
*dense*. It is readable and [lovingly-commented][nan].
* **Hope is fast.** A fast single-pass compiler to tight bytecode, and a
compact object representation help Hope [compete with other dynamic
languages][perf].
* **Hope is class-based.** There are lots of scripting languages out there,
but many have unusual or non-existent object models. Hope places
[classes][] front and center.
* **Hope is concurrent.** Lightweight [fibers][] are core to the execution
model and let you organize your program into an army of communicating
coroutines.
* **Hope is a scripting language.** Hope is intended for embedding in
applications. It has no dependencies, a small standard library,
and [an easy-to-use C API][embedding]. It compiles cleanly as C99, C++98
or anything later.
If you like the sound of this, [let's get started][started]. You can even try
it [in your browser][browser]! Excited? Well, come on and [get
involved][contribute]!
