 # uutils AWK
 
-This is a human, WIP, and clean implementation of an AWK interpreter, written in Rust and compatible with GNU's AWK (`gawk`) bug-for-bug. Expected to be production-ready before Ubuntu 26.10. Made with love.

+
+---
+
+uutils AWK is a WIP, cross-platform reimplementation of GNU AWK (a.k.a. `gawk`) in
+[Rust](http://www.rust-lang.org).
+
+## Goals
+
+uutils AWK aims to be a drop-in replacement for `gawk`. Differences with GNU
+are treated as bugs.
+
+Our key objectives include:
+- Matching GNU's output (stdout and error code) exactly
+- Better error messages
+- Best-in-class memory safety
+- Improved performance
+- Providing comprehensive internationalization support (UTF-8, etc.)
+- Extensions when relevant
+
+uutils AWK aims to work on as many platforms as possible, to be able to use the same
+utils on Linux, macOS, *BSD, Windows, WASI and other platforms. This ensures, for example,
+that scripts can be easily transferred between platforms.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Rust (`cargo`, `rustc`)
+
+### Rust Version
+
+uutils AWK follows Rust's release channels and is tested against stable, beta and
+nightly. The minimum supported Rust version at the moment is the previous stable
+version, that is, 1.95.0 at the time of writing.
