+# Neon
+
+Hi, this is <span style="color:rgb(240,0,255)">**Neon**</span> - a toy language you didn't wait for.
+
+## Why
+
+Nobody needs another programming language. I just want to teach me two things.
+
+- How to write a compiler and a virtual machine
+- How to use Rust
+
+So, I'm building <span style="color:rgb(240,0,255)">**Neon**</span>.
+
+## Goal
+
+The primary goal for me is to make Neon a self-hosted language. So want to get Neon to a state where I can rewrite the
+language in Neon itself.
+
+Additional goals might come up during the development - or not.
+
+## Inspiration
+
+At some point I stumbled across [Bob Nystrom](https://github.com/munificent)'s
+book [Crafting Interpreters](https://craftinginterpreters.com/), and it really is one of the best books in tech.
+If you haven't read it yet, and you're into building compilers & programming languages, go and get yourself a copy.
+
+It's a fantastic read!
+
+Said that Neon will not follow Lox, the language Bob created for the book, but I will definitely use Pratt Parsing 😄
+Thanks Bob for teaching me this technique 🙏
