+# The THP programming language
+
+This is the source code for the THP programming language.
+THP stands for "Typed Hypertext Preprocessor", and is a
+functional first, strong, nominal, statically typed language
+that compiles down to PHP.
+
+It is completely written in Zig, it is being rewritten from Rust.
+There is documentation and a WIP spec at
+[https://thp-lang.org](https://thp-lang.org).
+
+## Install
+
+This software is nowhere near to be useful.
+
+This program has exactly 1 dependency: the zig standard library.
+
+- Install [the Zig programming language](https://ziglang.org/).
+- Run `zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast`
+- The binary will be located at `zig-out/bin/thp`
+- Profit
