+summary: >
+    lolcat-c is a small, high-performance re-implementation of the
+    `lolcat <https://github.com/busyloop/lolcat>`__
+    rainbow cat utility. lolcat-c is meant as a lolcat that you can actually use in production. It is fast, not slowing
+    down whatever you pipe through it, and it robustly handles real-world terminal output including escape sequences.

+Why?
+====
+
+This `lolcat` clone is an attempt to reduce the world's carbon dioxide emissions by optimizing inefficient code. It's
+>10x as fast and <0.1% as large as the original one.
+
