+It offers a minimal amount of syntax sugar yet provides a complete and intuitive programming environment. Sapling offers:
 
 - `t` operator behaving by the rules of Tree Calculus
 - Function ("variable") definitions
 - Lambda abstractions
-- List, Number, and String literals (WIP)

-This is an active experimentation project by [someone who has no idea what they're doing](https://eversole.co).

 ## What does it look like?
 
 ```
-false      = t
-_          = t
-true       = t t
-id         = (\a : a)
-triage     = (\a b c : t (t a b) c) 
-match_bool = (\ot of : triage of (\_ : ot) t)
-and        = match_bool id (\_ : false)
-if         = (\cond then else : t (t else (t t then)) t cond)
-triage     = (\a b c : t (t a b) c)
-test       = triage "leaf" (\_ : "stem") (\_ _ : "fork")
+-- Anything after `--` on a line is a comment
+-- We can define functions or "variables" as tree calculus values
+false = t 
+_ = t
+true = t t
+-- We can define functions as lambda expressions that are eliminated to tree
+-- calculus terms.
+id = (\a : a) -- t (t (t t)) t
+triage = (\a b c : t (t a b) c) 
+triage = (\a b c : t (t a b) c)
+-- Intensionality !!!
+test = triage "Leaf" (\_ : "Stem") (\_ _ : "Fork")
 
--- The REPL outputs the tree form results by default; they are elided here.
+-- REPL
+-- `sapling <` is the input prompt
+-- `sapling >` is the Tree Calculus form output. Most are elided below.
+-- `DECODE -:` is an attempt to interpret the TC output as strings/numbers.
