+# WFL (WebFirst Language)
+
+WFL is a programming language designed to be readable and intuitive, using natural language constructs to lower the barrier to entry for new programmers while still providing powerful features for experienced developers.
+
+## Overview
+
+WFL features a syntax that resembles English sentences, indentation-based structure, and modern programming concepts like containers (classes), actions (functions), and collections. The language is designed to be approachable for beginners while still being powerful enough for real-world applications.
+
+## Project Status
+
+The WFL compiler is currently under development. Here's the current status:
+
+- ✅ **Lexer**: Complete - Converts source code into tokens
+- ✅ **Parser**: Complete - Transforms tokens into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST)
+- 🔄 **Bytecode Compiler**: In Progress - Will convert the AST into bytecode instructions
+- 🔄 **Virtual Machine**: Planned - Will execute bytecode instructions
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Rust (latest stable version)
+- Cargo (comes with Rust)
+
+### Installation
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+   ```
+   git clone https://github.com/logbie/wfl.git
+   cd wfl
+   ```
+
+2. Build the project:
+   ```
+   cargo build
+   ```
+
+### Usage
+
+To run a WFL program:
+
+```
+cargo run -- path/to/your/program.wfl
+```
+
+Or, after building:
+
+```
+./target/debug/wfl path/to/your/program.wfl
+```
+
+## Example WFL Program
+
+```
+store greeting as "Hello, World!"
+display greeting
+
+check if 5 is greater than 3:
+  display "Math works!"
+otherwise:
+  display "Something is wrong with the universe."
+end check
+
+count from 1 to 5:
+  display "Counting: " with the current count
+end count
+```
