Your target audience is c programmers right? Which c programmer knows Object Oriented Programming so poorly that you have to link to the Wikipedia article about it?

It's for reference...
Why is there a readme link to download a .zip of the repo? I know how to clone.
Why is there a link to wikipedia's section on object orientation? I know that.
I don't understand the updates section. v3 parser implemented...okay? How is that better? What?
Then this big example which looks a lot like vanilla C. Is this the sum of what Nymph offers?
What I really want to know, and what is absent is:
* What does this give me that ordinary C doesn't?
* What are the longer-term goals of this project?
* Who is this intended for?
* How compatible will this be with ordinary C? Is there an interest in, say, gradual migration if this is to take off? What's the C <=> Nymph interop to look like?
