 ## Mu's instructions and their table-driven translation
 
 Mu is a statement-oriented language. Blocks consist of flat lists of instructions.
-The chart at the bottom of this page shows all the instruction forms supported
-by Mu, one to a line. Each line shows an example of the instruction on the
-left. Past the first column, everything inside the {..} is a summary of the
-data structure the Mu compiler uses (`Primitives` in apps/mu.subx) to translate
-it.
-
-The syntax of the data structure is intended to be similar to C++'s aggregate
-initializers (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/aggregate_initialization)
-However, there are differences:
-  - We use adjacency for string concatenation.
-  - We use [] for array literals.
-  - The objects inside [] are not fully described. They include various
-    metadata about the variable in the instruction. For our purposes, assume
-    that variables on the stack have a stack offset computed for them, and
-    register variables evaluate to their register.
-  - registers may be specified by name: /eax /ecx /edx /ebx /esi /edi
-  - registers may be specified as a wildcard: /reg
-  - integer literals are always called 'n'
-  - any other variable names that don't specify a register are assumed to be on the stack
-
-There are no checks for types yet, because Mu programs only have `int` types so far.
-
-Example 1 (use the widest screen you can for this page):
-   -- instruction form --   |         -------------------------- data structure ----------------------------
-                            |<------------- pattern matching ---------->|<--- code generation ------------------->
-  var/reg <- add var2/reg   {.name="add", .inouts=[reg], .outputs=[reg], .subx-name="01/add-to", .rm32=outputs[0], .r32=inouts[0]}
-
-Read this as:
-  if an instruction's name is "add"
-    and it has one inout that's in a register
-    and it has one output that's in a register,
-  then emit the following on a single line
-    "01/add-to" (the opcode or subx-name)
-    "%{reg}", interpolating the output's register
-    "{reg}/r32", interpolating the inout's register code.
-
-Example 2:
-   -- instruction form --   |         -------------------------- data structure ----------------------------
-                            |<------- pattern matching ------>|<--- code generation ------------------->
-  add-to var, n             {.name="add-to", .inouts=[var, n], .subx-name="81 0/subop/add", .rm32="*(ebp+" inouts[0].stack-offset ")", .imm32=inouts[1]}
-
-Read this as:
-  if an instruction's name is "add-to"
-    and it has two inouts
-    the first on the stack
-    and the second a literal,
-  then emit the following on a single line
-    "81 0/subop/add" (the opcode or subx-name)
-    "*(ebp+{stack})", interpolating the first inout's stack offset
-    "{n}/imm32", interpolating the second inout's contents
-
-Ok, here's the complete chart.
