+`deno_minus_v8` is a fork of Deno's runtime that entirely removes V8.
 
-Deno is a _simple_, _modern_ and _secure_ runtime for **JavaScript** and
-**TypeScript** that uses V8 and is built in Rust.
+**This is currently a work in progress.**
+`deno_minus_v8` is currently missing several crucial things for
+parity with upstream Deno (see the list of TODOs scattered around
+the codebase). Security is likely borked and prehistoric bugs may
+appear. In particular, expect Deno's Node compat to behave weirdly.

-```
-
-Or a more complex one:
-
-```ts
-const listener = Deno.listen({ port: 8000 });
-console.log("http://localhost:8000/");
-
-for await (const conn of listener) {
-  serve(conn);
-}
-
-async function serve(conn: Deno.Conn) {
-  for await (const { respondWith } of Deno.serveHttp(conn)) {
-    respondWith(new Response("Hello world"));
-  }
-}
-```
-
-You can find a deeper introduction, examples, and environment setup guides in
-the [manual](https://deno.land/manual).
-
-The complete API reference is available at the runtime
-[documentation](https://doc.deno.land).
