 ## Features
 
 - Simplicity: Dust is designed to be easy to learn.
 - Speed: Dust is built on [Tree Sitter] and [Rust] to prioritize performance and correctness. See [Benchmarks] below.
-- Concurrency: Easily and safely write code that runs in parallel.
+- Concurrency: A safe approach to parallelism.
 - Safety: Written in safe, stable Rust.
-- Correctness: Type checking makes it easy to write good code that works.

-### Tables
-
-Tables are strict collections, each row must have a value for each column. If a value is "missing" it should be set to an appropriate value for that type. For example, a string can be empty and a number can be set to zero. Dust table declarations consist of a list of column names, which are identifiers enclosed in pointed braces, followed by a list of rows.
-
-```dust
-animals = table <name species age> [
-    ["rover" "cat" 14]
-    ["spot" "snake" 9]
-    ["bob" "giraffe" 2]
-]
-```
-
-Querying a table is similar to SQL.
-
-```dust
-names = select name from animals
-youngins = select species from animals {
-    age <= 10
-}
-```
-
-The keywords `table` and `insert` make sure that all of the memory used to hold the rows is allocated at once, so it is good practice to group your rows together instead of using a call for each row.
-
-```dust
-insert into animals [
-    ["eliza" "ostrich" 4]
-    ["pat" "white rhino" 7]
-    ["jim" "walrus" 9]
-]
-
-(assert_equal 6 (length animals))
-```

 ### Functions
 
 Functions are first-class values in dust, so they are assigned to variables like any other value.
 
 ```dust
 # This simple function has no arguments.
-say_hi = || => {
+say_hi = <fn> || {
     (output "hi")
 }
 
 # This function has one argument and will return a value.
-add_one = |number| => {
+add_one = <fn int -> int> |number| {
     number + 1
 }
