+# c
+
+An incredibly simple compiler from a Kaleidoscope-like language to C.
+
+Inspired by Gary Bernhardt’s [screencast on building a compiler](https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/screencasts/catalog/a-compiler-from-scratch),
+but compiles to C and (kind of) supports strings, and including other source
+files. Refer to the [example file](/examples/thing.src) to see how it works.
