-Pragtical is a cross-platform code editor with a modern graphical interface
-developed using C and Lua(JIT), which utilizes SDL for input management and
-user interface rendering. It is a lighter alternative to web-based editors like
-VSCode and can be easily extended or themed with plugins written in Lua.
-Currently, it has syntax support for various programming languages (contributed
-by the community), adding new ones is straightforward. Some of its core
-features include: auto-completion, easy graphical configuration or advanced
-configuration with Lua, support for multiple file encodings, multi-threaded
-project-wide find and replace, a command palette for a keyboard-focused workflow,
-graphical and keyboard-driven file navigation, customizability of key bindings,
-and more. Other features shipped as plugins include:
-
-- [LSP](/plugins?plugin=lsp) (implementing Language Server Protocol support for intellisense)
-- [EditorConfig](/plugins?plugin=editorconfig)
-- [Integrated Terminal](/plugins?plugin=terminal)

 ### Performance
 
+Over time, Pragtical has adopted various enhancements for better editor
+performance, some of them are:
+
 * **JIT** - Pragtical takes a LuaJIT first approach, meaning that our official
 builds use LuaJIT instead of PUC Lua for the performance benefits that come
 with it. Also having a LuaJIT first approach gives us FFI for free which allows

 evident.
 
+* **Improved Job Scheduling** - internally the editor uses Lua coroutines
+to perform different types of task, the way these tasks are scheduled has been
+improved on Pragtical to provide better editor responsiveness.

 ### More Features

 * **Widgets** - more tightly integrated as part of the core for easier gui
 development and reusability, also ensuring that plugin developers can with
