== Description
-A command/task framework similar to rake and thor that opens your ruby universe to the commandline
-and irb. For my libraries that use this, see {irbfiles}[http://github.com/cldwalker/irbfiles].
-Works with all major ruby versions.
+Boson is a command/task framework with the power to turn any ruby method into a full-fledged
+executable with options. Some unique features that differentiate it from rake and thor include
+being usable from irb and the commandline, optional automated views generated by hirb and allowing
+libraries to be written as plain ruby. For my libraries that use this, see
+{irbfiles}[http://github.com/cldwalker/irbfiles]. Works with all major ruby versions.
== Features
* Simple organization: Commands are just methods on an object (default is main) and command libraries are just modules.
* Commands are accessible from the commandline (Boson::BinRunner) or irb (Boson::ConsoleRunner).
* Libraries
