            <h1>emuStudio</h1>
            <p class="lead">
                Free, cross-platform toy-computer emulation platform and framework. It targets the
                "academic" sphere to help students or enthusiasts gaining the "know-how" and experiment with how
                computers work.
            </p>
            <p>
                <strong>Platform</strong>, because it supports full computer emulation "life-cycle".
                From writing and compiling programs for the emulated machine, to running and debugging.
                Examples of real computer emulators are <a href="{{ base }}documentation/user/altair8800">MITS
                Altair8800</a>,
                <a href="{{ base }}documentation/user/ssem">SSEM (a.k.a. "Baby")</a>. Abstract computers include:
                <a href="{{ base }}documentation/user/ram">RAM</a>, <a href="{{ base }}documentation/user/rasp">RASP</a>,
                and
                <a href="{{ base }}documentation/user/brainduck">Brainfuck "emulator"</a>.
            </p>
            <p>
                <strong>Framework</strong>, because it includes API and supporting back-end enabling developing new
                computer emulators.
                Good <a href="{{ base }}documentation/developer/introduction">developer documentation</a> is a matter
                of course.
                As in real computers, emuStudio allows reusing existing components resulting in different computer
                configurations.
            </p>
