+# flecs-zig-ble
+
+.. is a [Zig] wrapper around [Flecs], the powerful and fast Entity Component System library. It provides higher-level abstractions around Flecs' primitives and uses Zig's meta-programming functionality for more easily readable and maintainable code.
+
+This library is still very much work-in-progress and not ready for use. It's available for people to have a look, give feedback and take inspirations. I'm attempting to develop this project using a test-driven development approach, translating Flecs' C tests (and later, examples) to Zig, creating wrapper types and functions as I go.
