 ## Introduction
 
-tricu (pronounced "tree-shoe") is a purely functional interpreted language implemented in Haskell. It is fundamentally based on the application of [Tree Calculus](https://github.com/barry-jay-personal/typed_tree_calculus/blob/main/typed_program_analysis.pdf) terms, but minimal syntax sugar is included to provide a useful programming tool.

-*tricu is under active development and you should expect breaking changes with every commit.*
+*This experiment has concluded. tricu will see no further development or bugfixes.*
 
 tricu is the word for "tree" in Lojban: `(x1) is a tree of species/cultivar (x2)`.
