 # The Odin Programming Language
 
-Odin in an open source programming language that is simple to read, comprehend and reason with.
+Odin is fast, concise, readable, pragmatic and open sourced. It is designed with the intent of replacing C with the following goals:
+* simplicity
+* high performance
+* built for modern systems
+* joy of programming
+* metaprogramming
+* designed for good programmers
 
-## Requirements
+## Demonstrations:
+* First Talk & Demo
+	- [Talk](https://youtu.be/TMCkT-uASaE?t=338)
+	- [Demo](https://youtu.be/TMCkT-uASaE?t=1800)
+	- [Q&A](https://youtu.be/TMCkT-uASaE?t=5749)
+* [Composition & Refactorability](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1wemZfcbXM)
+* [Introspection, Modules, and Record Layout](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFq8rhWhx4s)
+* [push_allocator & Minimal Dependency Building](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_LGVOAMb78)
+
+## Requirements to build and run
 
-* x86-64
 * Windows
+* x86-64
 * MSVC 2015 installed (C99 support)
-* call `vcvarsall.bat` to setup the path
+* Requires MSVC's link.exe as the linker
+	- run `vcvarsall.bat` to setup the path
 
 ## Warnings
 
 * This is still highly in development and the language's design is quite volatile.
 * Syntax is not fixed.
 
-## Goals
+## Roadmap
 
-* Simple to read and write
-* Easy to comprehend and reason with
-* Fast
-* Low-level
-* Compiled, strongly-typed, static language
-* Metaprogramming:
-	- Ability to run any code at compile time
-	- Unified syntax between main language and metaprogramming language
-	- Built-in introspection for all types
-* Higher control of data layout and data access
-* No need for external tools such as Make/IDE
+Not in any particular order
 
+* Compile Time Execution (CTE)
+	- More metaprogramming madness
+	- Compiler as a library
+	- AST inspection and modification
+* CTE-based build system
+* Replace LLVM backend with my own custom backend
+* Improve SSA design to accommodate for lowering to a "bytecode"
+* SSA optimizations
+* Parametric Polymorphism ("Generics")
+* Documentation Generator for "Entities"
+* Multiple Architecture support
+* Language level atomics and concurrency support
+* Linking Options
+	- Executable
+	- Static/Dynamic Library
+* Debug Information
+	- pdb format too
+* Command Line Tooling
+* Compiler Internals:
+	- Big numbers library
+	- Cyclic Type Checking (at the moment will cause compiler to go into an infinite loop)
+	- Multithreading for performance increase
