+# Spider Programming Language
+
+Spider is a lightweight scripting language designed to be simple to build, 
+easy to embed, and straightforward to learn.
+
+## Why Spider?
+
+Most modern scripting languages have become increasingly complex over time.
+Spider was created to solve three main problems:
+
+- **Hard to embed:** Languages like Lua have verbose APIs and JavaScript 
+  interpreters are massive projects that take hours to compile.
+- **Poor interoperability:** Python and Lua make it complicated to communicate 
+  between the script and the host application.
+- **Outdated syntax:** Spider aims for a clean, modern syntax without 
+  requiring keywords like `end` or relying on indentation for structure.
+
+## How it works
+
+Spider compiles down to bytecode that runs on the Spider Virtual Machine (VM).
+The VM is written in C and can be compiled with a single Makefile, making it 
+easy to port to any platform, including microcontrollers like the ATmega328p.
+
+## Current Status
+
+Currently in early development. The VM architecture, instruction set, 
+register table, and calling convention have been defined and are being tested.
