+# Muesli is a Multi Use Embeddable Scripting Language Implementation.
+
+## Introduction
+It is a scripting language implemented in Go, that has a simple command based
+TCL like syntax but with rich semantics. Unlice TCL, all values are typed,
+and many types are supported, not just string values. Additionaly, if so 
+desired, every symbol used in the syntax can be replaced by a key word, 
+leading to a native language programming feel.
+
+## Syntax
+
+A Muesli program consists of one or more commands, separated by newlines or 
+periods. Commands can be grouped together in blocks between braces {}. 
+Lists are formed bu placing their contents between brackest []. A single command 
+can be placed in parenthesis (), where the return value of the command will be 
+subsituted.
+
+A command starts with a word, and is followed by any number of arguments,
+which may be blocks, parenthesis, lists , or values. Like this, the language 
+itself has no control statements, such as if, these are implemented as commands 
+in stead.
+
+Muesly supports several kinds of values, namely: 
+- Integers
+- Floats 
+- Strings between "double quotes"
+- The booleans !true and !false
+- The nil value !nil
+- Words, which are simple runs of alphanumercial characters starting with a lower case lettter, such as foo
+- Types which are runs of alphanumerical characters starting with an upper case letter. such as Foo
