| It's recommended to start with [SimplicityHL](https://github.com/BlockstreamResearch/SimplicityHL) which looks and feels like Rust and compiles down to Simplicity Bytecode. There is also [rust-simplicity](https://github.com/BlockstreamResearch/rust-simplicity), a general purpose library for processing Simplicity programs. |

Recommend using active language -- "We recommend starting with". And I guess we should justify it a little bit. Suggested rewording:
Simplicity is a very low-level language. This repository contains the consensus code implementation, an experimental Haskell library, the tech report and the a Rocq library for producing formal proofs. We recommend that users who just want to *use* Simplicity start with [SimplicityHL](https://github.com/BlockstreamResearch/SimplicityHL) which looks and feels like Rust and compiles down to Simplicity. There is also [rust-simplicity](https://github.com/BlockstreamResearch/rust-simplicity), a general purpose library for processing Simplicity programs.
(Also dropped the word "bytecode" since technically speaking, Simplicity's encoding is bit-aligned, not byte-aligned.)

Bump - @imaginator if you get a sec can you update this PR? |
|
@apoelstra I missed this. Updated now. |
|
Sorry, I didn't fetch. |
|
utACK 2d9a6d9 I can do a real ACK but it will likely take a couple days since I need to rebuild the divsteps derivation before I can test PRs this repo. |
