+      WABT (we pronounce it "wabbit") is a suite of tools for WebAssembly,
+      including:
+       * wat2wasm: translate from WebAssembly text format to the WebAssembly
+         binary format
+       * wasm2wat: the inverse of wat2wasm, translate from the binary format
+         back to the text format (also known as a .wat)
+       * wasm-objdump: print information about a wasm binary. Similiar to
+         objdump.
+       * wasm-interp: decode and run a WebAssembly binary file using a
+         stack-based interpreter
+       * wat-desugar: parse .wat text form as supported by the spec interpreter
+         (s-expressions, flat syntax, or mixed) and print "canonical" flat
+         format
+       * wasm2c: convert a WebAssembly binary file to a C source and header
+    '';
