    <h2>TinkerPop 3.x</h2>
    <p>TinkerPop 3.x is in wide use across many open source and commerical graph databases. Ogre compatibility with 3.x makes it straightforward for any Clojure project to work with those systems.</p>

  <div class='span4'>
    <h2>Idiomatic</h2>
    <p>Java interop with Clojure, especially with the Gremlin traversal language is clunky. Ogre smooths those rough edges for a better way to work with Apache TinkerPop-enabled graphs.</p>

    <h2>User Focused</h2>    
    <p>Apache TinkerPop has an extensive public API, but Ogre focuses on wrapping the Gremlin traversal language, which is the primary way users interact with TinkerPop-enabled Graphs.</p>
