    "The Ceylon language module containing the core definitions
     referred to by the [language specification][spec], along
     with some basic functionality of use to most programs:

     - The [[root package|package ceylon.language]] defines
       general-purpose functionality including support for
       [[numbers|Numeric]] and [[character strings|String]],
       [[streams|Iterable]] and [[sequences|Sequential]],
       [[exceptions|Throwable]], and [[null values|Null]].
     - The Ceylon _metamodel_ is defined in
       [[package ceylon.language.meta]] and its subpackages
       [[package ceylon.language.meta.model]] and
       [[package ceylon.language.meta.declaration]], which
       define interfaces for interacting with applied types and
       unapplied type declarations respectively.

     This module defines an abstraction over the basic
     facilities of the Java or JavaScript virtual machine,
     containing only functionality that can be easily
     implemented on both platforms. Thus, certain functionality,
     for example, concurrency, for which there is no common
     virtual machine-agnostic model, is not covered by the
     language module.

     The language module is an implicit dependency of every
     other Ceylon module, and may not be explicitly imported.
