 # Loaf
 
-Loaf is a programming language.
+Loaf is a toy programming language I am currently hacking on to learn some new things. It features a hand written lexer and parser that outputs to a custom bytecode, which is then ran on a stack based virtual machine. Eventually I want to make it output to WebAssembly.
 
-It's inspired by Go, parts of Ruby, and a bit of C.

-I'm writing it to learn how these sort of things work.
+The syntax is a bit of Go, a bit of Ruby and a bit of C.

 ## Goals
 
+- Type system
+  - [x] Properly scope types
+  - [x] Do a basic static type check for builtin types (number and bool)
+  - [ ] Create some sort of type/operation compatibility table
+  - [ ] Custom type support
 - Functions
   - [x] Store/retrieve globals
     - [x] Create Value table
   - [x] Call frames
   - [x] Execute parameterless, return value-less functions (ie. procedures)
-  - [ ] Parameters
+  - [ ] Typed parameters
   - [ ] Return values

-- Operator overloading
-- Compile to WebAssembly
