 |Performance|Written in the native compiled language. Internally, the AST is compiled into a lower level IR, where jump labels are resolved to instruction offsets.

 Motivation::
 
-_<text explanation>_
+The interpreter follows a classic interpreter architecture. First, the source is tokenized by a lexer, implemented using the `logos` library (https://crates.io/crates/logos).
 
+The, a handwritten recursive descent parser parses the token stream. The abstract syntax tree is then given to a small compiler, that compiles it down to a smaller and more limited IR. It also resolves jump labels to offsets.
 
-Contained Building Blocks::
-_<Description of contained building block (black boxes)>_
+The interpreter then executes this lower level IR.
 
-Important Interfaces::
-_<Description of important interfaces>_
+==== Parser
 
+Lexes the source code, and then turns those tokens into an abstract syntax tree.
