+a basic experimental wip *aot* optimizing js -> wasm/c engine/compiler/runtime in js. not serious/intended for (real) use. (this is a straight forward, honest readme)<br>
+age: ~2 months
 
 ## design
 porffor is a very unique js engine, due a very different approach. it is seriously limited, but what it can do, it does pretty well. key differences:
 - 100% aot compiled *(not jit)*
-- everything is a number
 - no constant runtime/preluded code
 - least Wasm imports possible (only stdio)
 
@@ -18,6 +17,12 @@ porffor is mostly built from scratch, the only thing that is not is the parser (
 - no variables between scopes (except args and globals)
 - literal callees only in calls (eg `print()` works, `a = print; a()` does not)
 
+## rhemyn
+rhemyn is porffor's own regex engine; it compiles literal regex to wasm bytecode aot (remind you of anything?). it is quite basic and wip. see [its readme](rhemyn/README.md) for more details.
+
+## 2c
+2c is porffor's own wasm -> c compiler, using generated wasm bytecode and internal info to generate specific and efficient/fast c code. no boilerplate/preluded code or required external files, just for cli binaries (not like wasm2c very much at all).

-## test262
-porffor can run test262 via some hacks/transforms which remove unsupported features whilst still doing the same asserts (eg simpler error messages using literals only). it currently passes >10% (see latest commit desc for latest and details). use `node test262` to test, it will also show a difference of overall results between the last commit and current results.
+## porfformance
+*for the things it supports most of the time*, porffor is blazingly fast compared to most interpreters, and common engines running without JIT. for those with JIT, it is not that much slower like a traditional interpreter would be; mostly the same or a bit faster/slower depending on what.

 ## optimizations
 mostly for reducing size. do not really care about compiler perf/time as long as it is reasonable. we do not use/rely on external opt tools (`wasm-opt`, etc), instead doing optimization inside the compiler itself creating even smaller code sizes than `wasm-opt` itself can produce as we have more internal information. (this also enables fast + small runtime use as a potential cursed jit in frontend).
