+version: master
+summary: Serpent compiler
+description: |
+  Serpent is one of the high-level programming languages used to write
+  Ethereum contracts. The language, as suggested by its name, is designed to
+  be very similar to Python; it is intended to be maximally clean and simple,
+  combining many of the efficiency benefits of a low-level language with
+  ease-of-use in programming style, and at the same time adding special
+  domain-specific features for contract programming.
