+# Bird
+
+A sinatra-ish web framework written in haskell, riding on top of Hack. 
+
+## Why?
+
+Sinatra has a beautiful, simple, elegant syntax, but it's essentially an attempt to bring pattern matching to a language never intended for 
+pattern matching. Why not attempt something similar in a language with not just beautiful pattern matching, but with all the declarative 
+bells and whistles: lazy evaluation, first-class functions, currying, polymorphism?
+
+## Install
+
+    λ cabal update && cabal install bird
+
+Note: make sure $HOME/.cabal/bin is in your PATH.
+
+## Create an app
+
+    λ bird MyApp 
+
+## Compile your app
+
+    λ cd MyApp
+    λ bird nest 
+
+## Start your app (runs on port 3000)
+
+    λ bird fly
+
+## Try it out
+    
+    λ curl http://localhost:3000
+      404 Not Found
+
+## Improvise!
+    
+    -- MyApp.hs
+    module MyApp where
+    import Bird
+    import Data.String.Utils
+
+    get, post, put, delete :: Request -> IO Reply
+    get Request { path = ("howdy":xs) } 
+      = ok $ "Howdy " ++ (join ", " xs) ++ "!"
+
+    get _ = return notFound_
+    post _ = return notFound_
+    put _ = return notFound_
+    delete _ = return notFound_
+
+now:
+
+    λ curl http://localhost:3000/howdy/there/pardna
+        Howdy there, pardna!
+
+## Notes
+
+This project is *still* in its infancy. Coming features:
+
+* logging
+* support for sending files
