+**So you wanted to build a JVM**
+
+_as in why not???_
+
+actually:
 `System.out.println("Hello World")` would actually be a major achievement. It's nowhere near that level...
+
+**so far**
+* starts a main class (TODO cmdline args)
+* loads classes from a classpath, including jar/jmod files
+* instantiates classes (TODO implement superclass instantiation)
+* runs bytecode (TODO more opcodes)
+* has INVOKEVIRTUAL and INVOKESPECIAL, including stackframes (TODO more invokes)
+
+**more TODO's**
+* native methods 
+* stacktraces
+* check visibility
+* IO
+
+**Ultimate goal** 
+* Hello world domination
