Project goals

[pastelmind]

This is a discussion topic and a work in progress.

We should specify our project goals and/or principles to help us focus on the right things.

What goals?

Some suggestions based on our work so far:

• Correctness
• Minimal set of wanted features
• Zero-dependency
• Performance: improve speed, reduce memory footprint

Where?

Ideally, the project goals should be part of the documention, perhaps in a CONTRIBUTING.md file. We may also put them in the project wiki (currently not enabled).

For now, we can link to this issue when we mention our project goals and/or principles.
