== Introduction and Goals

=== Requirements Overview

==== What is Crapderive?

Crapderive is a small assembly-like programming language. It's implemented as a Rust interpreter.


=== Quality Goals

* Ease of implementation: It must not be too complex to implement Crapderive, while still being interesting. A simpler language makes for a simpler implementation, which is easier to document.
* Interpreter UX: The interpreter must be easy to use, and should give clear error messages.
* Performance: While performance isn't a strict requirement, the interpreter should be decently fast.
