 The goal of this roadmap is to give you the big picture.
 Here's a list of our key focus areas – the most important directions we are focused on delivering:
 
-* **Language evolution**: more efficient data handling, increased abstraction, enhanced performance with clear code.
-* **Kotlin Multiplatform**: release direct Kotlin to Swift Export, streamlined build setup, and simplified creation of multiplatform libraries.
-* **Experience of third-party ecosystem authors**: simplified development and publication process for Kotlin libraries, tools, and frameworks.
+* **Language evolution**: keep Kotlin both pragmatic and expressive with meaningful language improvements
+  that emphasize semantics over syntax changes.
+* **Multiplatform**: build the foundation for modern multiplatform apps with solid iOS support,
+  mature web targets, and reliable IDE tooling.
+* **Staying agnostic**: support developers no matter their tools or targets.
+* **Ecosystem support**: simplify the development and publication process for Kotlin libraries, tools, and frameworks.
