Slight rewording of README intro
* Shift away focus from converting Lua code, as it is not clear
that this will be the dominant use-case;
* Clarify status as an initial prototype;
* Do not make performance claims yet.

-Titan is a programming language, based on the syntax and semantics of
-[Lua](http://www.lua.org), to be a statically-typed, ahead-of-time compiled
-sister language to Lua. Converting Lua code to Titan should yield a
-significant speedup, in some cases approaching the speed of C code.
+Titan is a new programming language, designed to be a statically-typed,
+ahead-of-time compiled sister language to [Lua](http://www.lua.org). It is an
+application programming language with a focus on performance.
-The Titan compiler is under development and it is compiling Titan modules
+This repository contains the work-in-progress for the initial prototype
+of the Titan compiler. It is under active development and it targets compiling Titan modules
to C code in the [artisanal style](https://github.com/titan-lang/artisanal-titan).
