+# Onyx (WIP)
+A simple, small, yet powerful language for WebAssembly.
+
+## Project Goals
+This project was started for me to learn the ins and outs of compiler and programming language design.
+I do not intend for this language to be used for anything "professional".
+It is purely for me to learn and experiment with compiler architecture.
+To ensure I have completed achieve what I set out for, I will implement a simple HTML5 game with all game logic and rendering in Onyx.
+
+## TODO
+This a small list of things I want in the language when all is said and done. Many more features will be added to this list.
+
+| Progress | Feature |
+|----------|---------|
+| Completed | Simple locals in functions |
+| Completed | Orthogonal define/assign mutable/constant syntax |
+| Completed | Top-level function declarations only |
+| Completed | Static symbol resolution where order does not matter |
+| Completed | Link to externally defined functions (WASM imports) |
+| In Progress | Standard C-style control flow |
+| Not Started | Pointers |
+| Not Started | Structured data |
