+## What is Mithril?
+
+Mithril is a client-side MVC framework - a tool to organize code in a way that is easy to think about and to maintain.
+
+### Light-weight
+
+- Only 4kb gzipped, no dependencies
+- Small API, small learning curve
+
+### Robust
+
+- Safe-by-default templates
+- Hierarchical MVC via components
+
+### Fast
+
+- Virtual DOM diffing and compilable templates
+- Intelligent auto-redrawing system
+
+---
+
+## Sample code
+
+```javascript
+//namespace
+var app = {};
+
+//model
+app.PageList = function() {
+	return m.request({method: "GET", url: "pages.json"});
+};
+
+//controller
+app.controller = function() {
+	this.pages = app.PageList();
+	
+	this.rotate = function() {
+		this.pages.push(this.pages.shift())
+	}.bind(this)
+};
+
+//view
+app.view = function(ctrl) {
+	return [
+		ctrl.pages().map(function(page) {
+			return m("a", {href: page.url}, page.title);
+		}),
+		m("a", {onclick: ctrl.rotate}, "Rotate links")
+	];
+};
+
+//initialize
+m.module(document.getElementById("example"), app);
+```
