+## toc
+
+`toc` is a language which compiles to C.
+
+---
+
+### About
+
+`toc` is currently in development. **It is not a stable language,
+and there are almost definitely bugs right now.**
+I would recommend against using it for anything big or important.
+Many parts of it may change in the future.
+
+`toc` improves on C's syntax (and semantics) in many ways,
+To declare `x` as an integer and set it to 5,
+you can do:
+
+```
+x := 5; // Declare x and set x to 5 (infer type)  
+x : int = 5; // Explicitly make the type int.  
+x : int; x = 5; // Declare x as an integer, then set it to 5.  
+```
+
+`toc` is statically typed and has many of C's features, but
+it is nearly as fast in theory.
+
+See `docs` for more information.
