parse JSON input files (in Haskell)

@@ -6,27 +6,31 @@ The original idea behind this small project was to take the "computation graph"
 files generated by  [`circom-witnesscalc`](https://github.com/iden3/circom-witnesscalc),
 and either interprets or compiles them to various algebra backends.
 
-While this is quite straightforward in principle, and seems to work on small
-examples, it turns out that `circom-witnesscalc` itself is completely broken,
-in the sense that it doesn't seem to be able to handle nontrivial circuits using any 
-kind of meaningful metaprogramming (that being the only thing which makes `circom` 
-borderline useful).
+While this is quite straightforward in principle, and seems to work on particular
+examples, it turns out that `circom-witnesscalc` itself has some serious limitations.
 
-And this doesn't look fixable without something like a full rewrite of `circom-witnesscalc` (?).
+The biggest one is that it doesn't support any kind of dynamic computation (which should 
+be obvious from the fact that it produces a static graph). But even if one uses only 
+static computations, there are further very annoying things which just don't work.
+
+However at the end this is still a useful thing.
 
 ### Implementation status
 
 Compiler (in Haskell):
 
 - [x] parsing the graph file
+- [x] parsing json input
 - [x] naive interpreter
+- [ ] exporting the witness
 - [ ] constantine backend
 - [ ] zikkurat backend
 - [ ] arkworks backend
 
-Nim witness generator:
+Nim witness generator (to be used with [`nim-groth16`](https://github.com/codex-storage/nim-groth16))
 
 - [x] parsing the graph file
+- [ ] parsing json input
 - [ ] generating the witness
 - [ ] proper error handling
