 A hobby scheme implementation for FORTH 83. Specifically it is targeted at 
 [forth.jl](http://github.com/tgvaughan/forth.jl) which is an implementation
 of FORTH on top of [Julia](http://www.julialang.org), hence the name.
+At the moment it is a fairly direct port of Peter Micheaux's [Bootstrap
+Scheme](https://github.com/petermichaux/bootstrap-scheme) (as described in
+[this wonderful series of blog posts](http://peter.michaux.ca/articles/scheme-from-scratch-introduction))
+from C to forth, but I plan to go a bit beyond this by implementing some
+nice features like garbage collection, macros and a more complete numerical
+tower to bring it closer to [R5RS](http://www.schemers.org/Documents/Standards/R5RS/).
 
-The eventual goal of this project is to have scheme.forth.jl capable of being
-used to complete all of the exercises in the book
-[Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs](http://sarabander.github.io/sicp/).
-(Fun fact: chapter 4 implements a metacircular evaluator, at which point we will have
-scheme in scheme in forth in julia!)
