+# minfp: a minimal pure lazy functional language
+
+`minfp` is a functional programming language that aims to be as small as
+possible while still being feature rich.
+Most of the code is taken up by type checking.
+
+```
+$ wc -l *.[id]cl
+   23 ast.dcl
+   25 ast.icl
+    5 builtin.dcl
+   13 builtin.icl
+   12 check.dcl
+  168 check.icl
+    6 gen.dcl
+   39 gen.icl
+    7 int.dcl
+   49 int.icl
+   59 main.icl
+   10 parse.dcl
+  124 parse.icl
+   13 scc.dcl
+   41 scc.icl
+  594 total
+```
+
+### Features
+
+- Polymorphic type inference for the Hindley-Milner type system
+- Support for let polymorfism
+- Reasonable interpreter
+
+### CFG
+
+```
+minfp    := function+
+function := (op+ ['infixr' | 'infixl'] digit+ | id) id* '=' expr ';'
+expr     := expr op expr
+          | '\' id '.' expr
+          | '(' op+ ')'
+          | '\' id '.' expr
+          | '-'? digit*
+          | 'True' | 'False'
+          | 'code' id
+          | id
+id       := alpha (alnum)*
+op       := '!' | '|' | '@' | '#' | '$' | '%' | '^' | '&' | '*' | '=' | '+'
+          | '/' | '?' | '-' | '_' | '|' | ''' | '"' | '\' | ''' | '<' | '>'
+          | '.' | ':'
+alpha    := a | b | .. | z | A | B | .. | Z
+digit    := 0 | 1 | .. | 9
+alnum    := alpha | digit
+```
+
+A program always has to have a `start` function that takes no arguments.
+
+### Code instructions
+
+See `builtin.icl` for all builtin instructions that you can use with `code`
+
+### Todo
