+
+## about lam
+
+lam is a little toy lisp evaluator
+written in lua
+that isn't fennel.
+
+it's still very much a work-in-progress
+while i work toward a lam 1500 release.
+
+## installing lam
+
+### dependencies
+
+lam is built against luajit 2.0 and has only been tested on that.
+it might work on other luae, though.
+
+## using lam

+run `make repl` to set up a testing repl of the lam interpreter.
+you can also run `make test` to start a lua repl
+with all of lam's modules preloaded.
