-KVision allows you to build user interface of modern web applications with the [Kotlin](https://kotlinlang.org) language.
-It's designed to be object oriented in the "most classical" sense - it gives you a hierarchy of many different components,
-which are used to build application UI.
+KVision allows you to build modern web applications with the [Kotlin](https://kotlinlang.org) language,
+without any use of HTML, CSS or JavaScript.
-Unlike most of the popular web UI frameworks (AngularJS, React, Vue.js and others),
-KVision is not declarative - it is not designed to mix HTML code (or pseudo code) with a typical
-programming language like JavaScript. In KVision everything is just written in Kotlin, and your code can be reused not by creating any templates,
-but by using well known OOP design patterns - composition and inheritance.
+KVision prefers the imperative style of programming. It's object oriented and supports many well known OOP design patterns. It gives you a hierarchy of many different components,
+which are used as a builder blocks for the application GUI.
-This design is quite similar to many non-web UI programming libraries including Swing (Java), JavaFX, QT (C++), WinForms (C#) and Flutter.
+KVision's design is quite similar to many non-web UI programming libraries including Swing, JavaFX, QT, WinForms and Flutter.
KVision contains innovative connectivity interface for [Ktor](https://ktor.io/), [Jooby](https://jooby.org) and [Spring Boot](https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot) frameworks on the server side, which
allows to build full-stack, multiplatform applications with shared common code.
