+  Swift is a high-performance system programming language.  It has a clean
+  and modern syntax, offers seamless access to existing C and Objective-C code
+  and frameworks, and is memory safe by default.
+
+  Although inspired by Objective-C and many other languages, Swift is not itself
+  a C-derived language. As a complete and independent language, Swift packages
+  core features like flow control, data structures, and functions, with
+  high-level constructs like objects, protocols, closures, and generics. Swift
+  embraces modules, eliminating the need for headers and the code duplication
+  they entail.
+
+  Swift toolchains are created using the script
+  [build-toolchain](https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/main/utils/build-toolchain).
+  This script is used by swift.org's CI to produce snapshots and can allow for
+  one to locally reproduce such builds for development or distribution purposes.
+  A typical invocation looks like the following:
+
+  ```
+    $ ./swift/utils/build-toolchain $BUNDLE_PREFIX
+  ```
+
+  where ``$BUNDLE_PREFIX`` is a string that will be prepended to the build date
+  to give the bundle identifier of the toolchain's ``Info.plist``. For instance,
+  if ``$BUNDLE_PREFIX`` was ``com.example``, the toolchain produced will have
+  the bundle identifier ``com.example.YYYYMMDD``. It will be created in the
+  directory you run the script with a filename of the form:
+  ``swift-LOCAL-YYYY-MM-DD-a-osx.tar.gz``.
