+A hobby Scheme interpreter for FORTH 83. Specifically it is targeted at
+[forth.jl](http://github.com/tgvaughan/forth.jl) which is an implementation of

 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/).

+C to forth, but also includes variadic compound function support, mark-sweep
+garbage collection, quasiquotation, and a very basic (non-hygenic) macro
+system.
+
+In future, I plan to also implement a more complete numerical tower to bring it closer to
+[R5RS](http://www.schemers.org/Documents/Standards/R5RS/).
+
+The goal is for the interpreter to be complete enough to be used to complete
+the majority of the exercises found in [SICP](http://sarabander.github.io/sicp/).
