A curated list of awesome taglines
This started as a fun exercise in comparing how programming languages, frameworks, and tools express themselves at first glance. Collecting them became a bit of a hobby, and is fun to compare and contrast!
Most taglines were sourced from the associated web pages. If you find a better, shorter version, mistakes, or can help better categorize the content, please help improve this awesome list with a contribution!
