+# Syrup, a syntactically-light LISP
+
+Syrup is whitespace-significant. Function calls are made as so:
+
+    defn: test []
+      print: "Cool language"
+
+Where a colon following an atom indicates all subsequent arguments
+are part of the list. This parse tree is equivalent to (in Clojure):
+
+    (defn test [] (print "Cool language"))
+
+Parentheses are for disambiguation, and are insignificant:
+
+    calc-fib: (n - 1) b (a + b)
+
+Commas are allowed, but not required in lists of arguments/literals.
+Array/list syntax is like JavaScript array literals:
+
+    [5 6 7 8]
+
+Arrays can't be invoked, as the above the above is equivalent to
+
+    list: 5 6 7 8
+
+Quoting is `. Infix notation is supported for arithmetic operations:
+
+    (+: 5 6) is equal to (5 + 6)
