+Jtalk
+=====
+
+By Nicolas Petton <petton.nicolas@gmail.com>
+
+Jtalk is an implementation of the Smalltalk language that runs on top of the JavaScript runtime. It is designed to make client-side development faster and easier.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+Jtalk is written in itself, including the parser and compiler. Jtalk compiles into efficient JavaScript, mapping one-to-one with the equivalent JavaScript. There is no interpretation at runtime.
+
+Some highlights:
+- Jtalk features an IDE with a Class browser, workspace and transcript
+- [Pharo Smalltalk](http://www.pharo-project.org) is considered as the reference implementation
+- Jtalk includes a canvas to generate HTML, like [Seaside](http://www.seaside.st)
+- Jtalk includes a [jQuery](http://www.jquery.com) binding
+
+License
+-------
+
+Jtalk is released under the MIT license.
