+# Millfork
+
+A middle-level programming language targeting 6502-based microcomputers.
+
+**UNDER DEVELOPMENT, NOT FOR PRODUCTION USE**
+
+## Features
+
+* multiple targets:
+
+    * Commodore 64 (the primary target)
+    
+    * Commodore 16 and Plus/4
+    
+    * Commodore 128
+    
+    * Commodore PET
+    
+    * Commodore Vic-20 (stock or with RAM extensions)
+    
+    * Atari 8-bit computers
+
+* inline assembly
+
+* pay only for what you use: not a single byte of memory is used unless for code or explicitly declared variables
+
+* simple memory model that avoids using the stack
+
+* multi-pass optimizer (that will even optimize your hand-written assembly if you ask it to)
+
+## Planned features
+
+* multi-part programs
+
+* more targets: Famicon/NES, BBC Micro/Electron, Oric computers, Apple II, PC-Engine/Turbografx-16, Atari Lynx
+
+* a better optimizer
