+## What is Fun?
+
+Fun is an experiment, just for fun, but Fun works!
+
+Fun is a highly strict programming language, but also highly simple. It looks like Python (My favorite language), but there are differences.
+
+Influenced by **[Bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/){:class="ext"}**, **[C](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_C_Programming_Language){:class="ext"}**, **[Lua](https://www.lua.org/){:class="ext"}**, PHP, **[Python](https://www.python.org/){:class="ext"}**, and a little Rust (Most influences came from linked languages).
+
+Fun is and will ever be 100% free under the terms of the [Apache-2.0 License](https://opensource.org/license/apache-2-0){:class="ext"}.
+
+## Idea
+
+- Simplicity
+- Consistency
+- Simple to extend
+- Hackable
+- Joy in coding
+- Fun!
+
+## Characteristics
+
+- Dynamic and optionally statically typed
+- Type safety
+- Written in C (C99) and Fun
+- Internal libs are written with no_camel_case even when written in Fun, except class names
+- Only a minimal function set is written in C, and most other core functions and libraries are implemented in Fun
+
+## The Fun Manifesto
+
+Fun is a programming language built on a simple idea:
+Coding should be enjoyable, elegant, and consistent.
+
+### Philosophy
+
+- **Fun is Fun**<br>
+  Programming should spark creativity, not frustration. Code in Fun feels light, playful, and rewarding.
+- **Fun Uses Nothing**<br>
+  Minimalism is power. No unnecessary features, no endless syntax variations, no formatting debates. Just clean, uniform code.
+- **Indentation is Truth**<br>
+  Two spaces, always. No tabs, no four-space wars. Code should look the same everywhere, from your laptop to /usr/bin/fun.
+- **One Way to Do It**<br>
+  No clutter, no 15 ways of writing the same thing. Simplicity means clarity.
+- **Hackable by Nature**<br>
+  Fun should be small and embeddable, like Lua. Easy to understand, extend, and tinker with — true to the hacker spirit.
+- **Beautiful Defaults**<br>
+  A language that doesn’t need linters, formatters, or style guides. Beauty is built in.
+
+## The Community
+
+Fun is not about being the fastest or the most feature-rich. It’s about sharing joy in coding. The community should be:
+
+- Respectful
+- Curious
+- Creative
+
+Like the name says: Fun Unites Nerds.
+
+Please visit the [Fun Community Page](https://fun-lang.xyz/community/){:class="git"} to get in touch.
+
+## The Goal
+
+A language that feels like home for developers who:
+
+- Love minimal, elegant tools
+- Believe consistency is freedom
+- Want to write code that looks good and feels good
+
+Fun may not change the world — but it will make programming a little more fun.
+
+## Features
+
+### Core
+
+- functions/classes/objects
+- if/else if/else
+- try/catch/finally
+
+and much more...
+
+Look at the examples here: [https://git.xw3.org/fun/fun/src/branch/main/examples](https://git.xw3.org/fun/fun/src/branch/main/examples){:class="ext"}
+
+### Lib
+
+See [https://git.xw3.org/fun/fun/src/branch/main/lib](https://git.xw3.org/fun/fun/src/branch/main/lib) for what the standard library provides.
+
+### Extensions (only Linux actually)
+
+- [CGI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Gateway_Interface){:class="ext"} support builtin using [kcgi](https://kristaps.bsd.lv/kcgi/){:class="ext"} (optional) <span style="color:red;font-weight:bold;">&#9744;</span>
+- [cURL](https://curl.se/){:class="ext"} support builtin using [libcurl](https://curl.se/libcurl/){:class="ext"} (optional) <span style="color:green;font-weight:bold;">&#9745;</span>
+- [INI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file){:class="ext"} support builtin using [iniparser](https://gitlab.com/iniparser/iniparser/){:class="ext"} (optional) <span style="color:green;font-weight:bold;">&#9745;</span>
+- [JSON](https://www.json.org/){:class="ext"} support builtin using [json-c](https://github.com/json-c/json-c){:class="ext"} (optional) <span style="color:green;font-weight:bold;">&#9745;</span>
+- [PCRE2](https://pcre2project.github.io/pcre2/){:class="ext"} support builtin for Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions (optional) <span style="color:green;font-weight:bold;">&#9745;</span>
+- [PCSC](https://pcscworkgroup.com/){:class="ext"} smart card support builtin using [PCSC lite](https://pcsclite.apdu.fr/){:class="ext"} (optional) <span style="color:green;font-weight:bold;">&#9745;</span>
+- [SQLite](https://sqlite.org/){:class="ext"} support builtin (optional) <span style="color:green;font-weight:bold;">&#9745;</span>
+- [XML](https://www.w3.org/XML/){:class="ext"} support builtin using [libxml2](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/wikis/home){:class="ext"} (optional) <span style="color:green;font-weight:bold;">&#9745;</span>
+
+<span style="color:green;font-weight:bold;">&#9745;</span> = Done / <span style="color:red;font-weight:bold;">&#9744;</span> = Planned or in progress.
+
+Note: Not all of the above features will be implemented. Those who are marked "Done" will probably remain in Fun, but I don't know actually... ;)
+
+There are some libs written in Fun available in the [./lib/](https://git.xw3.org/fun/fun/src/branch/main/lib){:class="ext"} diretory. In the future most Fun enhancements should be written in Fun itself.
