+## Compiler
+
+CGround now includes an experimental Ground -> x86_64 Linux ASM compiler. You can try it by adding the `-c` flag when running Ground. This will print the generated ASM to the console.
+
+At present only the `int` data type is supported.
+
+Supported instructions so far:
+
+* set
+* add
+* end
