+Minimal Scheme Implementation for use as an Extension Language
+
Chibi-Scheme is a very small library intended for use as an extension and
scripting language in C programs. In addition to support for lightweight
-VM-based threads, each VM itself runs in an isolated heap allowing multiple VMs
-to run simultaneously in different OS threads.
-
-The default language is an extended subset of the current draft R7RS Scheme,
-with support for all libraries.
+VM-based threads, each VM itself runs in an isolated heap allowing multiple
+VMs to run simultaneously in different OS threads.
-The system is designed in optional layers, beginning with a VM based on a small
-set of opcodes, a set of primitives implemented in C, a default language, a
-module system implementation, and a set of standard modules. You can choose
-whichever layer suits your needs best and customize the rest. Adding your own
-primitives or wrappers around existing C libraries is easy with the C FFI.
+The default repl language contains all bindings from R7RS small, available
+explicitly as the (scheme small) library. The language is built in layers,
+however - see the manual for instructions on compiling with fewer features or
+requesting a smaller language on startup.
-Chibi is known to build and run on 32 and 64-bit Linux, FreeBSD, DragonFly, OS
-X, iOS, Windows (under Cygwin) and Plan9.
